The interesting thing is that, for about a day, TOR *did* sell ebooks through Baen's Webscriptions (until various legal reasons shut that down) yet those who were able to purchase ebooks through that process all stated great satisfaction at *finally* being able to get TOR ebooks. I was one of them. Managed to snag Stross' first two Family Corporate books in ebook format - I already have them in HC. Perhaps you should research the ebook PnL potential to help convince the TOR principles as to the profit potential of ebook sales?
