Simon & Schuster, Hachette to Delay Frontlist eBooks
In an article published yesterday evening, The Wall Street Journal reported that both Simon & Schuster and Hachette plan to delay the eBook release of many frontlist titles. According to the article, Simon & Schuster will hold back eBook versions of 35 of its early 2010 titles by four months, including books by Don DeLillo, Karl Rove, and Jodi Picoult.
