john-grisham Another long-standing e-book holdout has finally given in. All 23 novels by popular suspense novelist John Grisham are now available in electronic form via Random House, only 14 months after the initial announcement.

On Amazon, new Grisham titles are $9.99, with older titles at $7.99 or less. Kobo (nee Shortcovers) sent an email alerting customers that it has Grisham books for about the same amount (and for two days using the coupon code “grisham” will get $1.50 off of any e-book purchase). They are also at Barnes & Noble, and presumably other places as well.

Who knows? Maybe someday J.K. Rowling will change her mind as well.

  1. Fictionwise has them. The majority are $16.11 ($13.69 if you belong to their Buywise Club). The rest are $12.75 ($10.84 to club members). This is considerably more expensive than the prices you’ve quoted, but they currently come with a 100% Micropay Rebate, which means your account gets credited with funny money you can be used to purchase another ebook. You can buy one ebook at $16.11 and then used the Micropay Rebate to purchase the next one, so the ebooks end up being $8 each.

    This doesn’t do you any good if you only want one ebook, but I’ve been buying from Fictionwise for years and the Micropay Rebates add up.
