I hate to rain on your parade, but Scholastic has made it clear that they don't want any Animorph e-books up anywhere on the internet.  We used to have a complete set of e-books right here on this forum, until we started getting letters from Scholastic saying that they'd sue us if we didn't take them down.

Money, I'm sure. It's got to be WAY more profitable to sell real books rather than distribute 'sell' ebooks.

Not even sorta. With physical media you have publishing and printing costs, distribution, etc etc.

With an e-book you just have to pay for bandwidth and some customer support/tech backup.

The only reasons every publishing company in the world aren't selling ebooks is -

Lack of suitable infrastructure
Fear of change
Lack of understanding

that, and its a lot harder to illegally distribute a physical book.

They are making ebooks of the new releases. Just none of the ones that haven't been rereleased.
