Anyone know if any or all of the Gap series is available as an eBook?
I'd like to re-read them again, once I'm through with Fatal Revenant, but my paperback copies are getting some wear on them...
Gap series eBook?

I've just signed an amendment to my contracts with Bantam/Spectra which will allow them to release the five GAP novels and "Reave the Just and Other Tales" in e-versions. I don't yet have any information about when the books will become available, or in which formats. But at least those books will eventually be "in print" electronically.

I have. Upon reflection, Nick Succorso = Tom Cruise. Think about that.Devany wrote:Warden Dios = Tom Cruise... /think about it.

If you own the physical books, you could argue that the PDFs are covered by fair use.
Certainly, transference of physical media into digital form is legal for music and movies (that's how the MP3 industry got started, after all, with people ripping their music CDs).

That's a tricky issue... you don't know that the people downloading it from you are breaking the law, because you don't know if they own the physical books or not.
Of course, while owning a digital copy is generally considered fair use, distribution is not (even to those who already own it). Most sites on the Internet put up some disclaimer about it being illegal to download said files if you don't own the original; what they fail to mention is that, while owning the original gives you some protection for possessing a digital copy, it doesn't really give you the right to transfer it (either direction).
Of course, IANAL, so take my advice with a grain of salt
