Jackelian books now in USA for Kindle
[#update – it seems US-based readers are told they can’t buy the books. Which rather begs the question why are these pages up there, then?]
HarperCollins has now made my Jackelian series of fantasy books directly available in the USA for the Amazon Kindle (at least, I think so – it’s hard to tell exactly, as I’m shopping from a UK-based PC, so the price and actual download functionality seems to be hidden from me by Amazon. If you can’t buy them in the US, do let me know and I’ll revise this). See the links below.
Anyway, the US Kindle links are (in reverse order)…

I pretty much only read e-books anymore, but I really want to read this series. Are they available in ANY e-book format in the US? Starting with the first one? I really don’t want to start in the middle and hope I can eventually read the beginning. Thanks.
Hi Colleen
As far as I can tell, it’s a bit spotty. HarperCollins own the US rights, but haven’t been able to come to terms with Tor, the American publisher yet, on selling them.
Ho hum. I apologize for traditional publishing on their behalf.

Any idea when, or even if your books will ever come to the US in Ebook form? I would like to read the series from the beginning but see that only the last two are currently available in ebook format.
To be honest Brian, sadly, no!
For what it’s worth, books 3 & 4 are now available as ebooks in the USA from Google Play, Amazon and B&N; but not any of the others. Rather frustrating.
I was just this weekend introduced to this series by a dear friend, but apparently will now have to borrow his paper copies instead of buying my own e-copies. 🙁
Hi, Sionathan, I feel your pain on this one. And you wonder why trad publishing is going down the swannie!
The Court of the Air kindle edition listed as “not available for purchase” in the US.
Thanks
CB
Yeah, it turns out Tor didn’t ask for the e-book rights when they purchased the paper ones from HarperCollins. The deal was done that long ago!
So… is there any chance you might be able to browbeat your publisher into correcting that digital rights issue for US customers? 6 years later (has it really been that long?!) I find that the ebook situation has not changed, and the first 2 books still are not available electronically in the US on any platform.
Having now worn out my paper copy of Court of the Air, I thought surely I should be able to get a version for my Nook app now, but to no avail! 🙁
For the latest books in the series (starting with book 7, ‘Mission to Mightadore’), I’m releasing under my own imprint which I control … and they’re available in every country in the world.
