Ever since I got my Nook ereader device this summer, I've been checking and rechecking to see if any books by William Stafford have been published in ebook format. As far as I've seen, no such product exists yet. The key word is "yet." I have little doubt that eventually publishers will release at least a few of Stafford's titles electronically, but there is no way to make sure. The next best thing is to request ebooks the publisher. Fortunately, Barnes & Noble and Amazon both allow customers to ask, with "Tell the publisher" links on book pages. Of course it is in the interest of Amazon & Barnes & Noble to have as many books available for their ereader devices, but it also helps readers voice their desires for certain books, and just might help expedite the process.
If you would like to read Stafford on your ereader, or would simply like to see Stafford's words reach as wide an audience as possible, visit ebook sellers' websites to request ebook formats. Here are the links for the 1999 collection
The Way It Is.
- Barnes and Noble: Click "Tell the publisher you want this in NOOKbook format" to the right of the cover image.
- Amazon: Click "Tell the Publisher! I’d like to read this book on Kindle" below the cover image.
Search around for other Stafford books on these websites and click the links for as many as you like. Who knows? We might get Stafford ebooks in time for Christmas!
