Why? Because Robert Ludlum’s estate can’t agree on a royalty rate with its publisher for putting the Bourne series into e-book form. An excerpt from the full article:
"There’s no electronic edition of “The Bourne Identity” on Amazon. Nor any of its sequels. Barnes & Noble? Apple iBooks? Kobo? Sony? Nope.
I eventually learned that Robert Ludlum’s estate can’t agree on a royalty rate with its publisher. Dudes: You’re worried about the royalty rate? How about worrying about the thousands of dollars a month you’ve been leaving on the table by not offering the books to the public who’s willing to buy it?
Eventually, I downloaded the book from a BitTorrent site. I know this is wrong. So I sent the publisher a check for $9.99 for the e-book."
