I love e-books too, but I can easily imagine what would happen if Dara put out an e-book. Just look at what people have done on e-bay with her printed book. It's an unfortunate fact that whenever someone comes up with a great idea, some turkey out there has to find a way to exploit it for their own gain. There would be no way to control the piracy and Dara's work doesn't deserve to be treated like that-no author deserves that. Unfortunately to enforce copyright would require more than an act of congress, it's just not possible realistically.

This is just supposition on my part as to why there probably won't be any e-books from Dara-I don't have any inside info-just to let you know. But logic dictates that it wouldn't be safe or profitable to release e-books until there is a way to insure that they can't be copied and passed on endlessly.
