HarperCollins Jumps On eBook Delaying Bandwagon

In what’s fast becoming a trend, HarperCollins announced yesterday that it too would delay the eBook release of frontlist books. This news follows hot on the heels of announcements from Simon & Schuster and Hachette, which eBookNewser reported on yesterday.

According to The Wall Street Journal, which conducted an interview with HarperCollins CEO Brian Murray, HarperCollins has a somewhat more ambitious plan for delaying its eBooks. The publisher will delay the eBook versions of five to ten new hardcovers each month beginning in January or February.
