The world (or at least those of us who are fans of John Grisham), await the author giving the green flag to allowing his publisher to sell his works via digital channels. Grisham is among those authors who have eschewed the ebook route although many of his works are available on audiobooks. If I were to venture a guess, given the wide range of Grisham fans, he’s perhaps waiting for a device that is more accessible across the ebook digital divide. That said, he still could offer his books on a PC/MAC ereader (Amazon and B&N now have good ones).
