E-book of Dan Brown novel coming soon

The E-book of Brown`s ‘The Lost Symbol’ is coming out on 15 September.

New York: E-book readers can relax: The electronic edition of Dan Brown`s ‘The Lost Symbol’ is coming out on the same day as the hardcover.Doubleday announced in April that Brown`s first novel since "The Da Vinci Code" was coming out Sept. 15, but had hesitated to say when the e-book would be released, leading to speculation that the publisher was concerned that digital sales, a quickly rising market, would cut into purchases of the more expensive hardcover.

But in a statement released Thursday, Doubleday spokeswoman Suzanne Herz said the e-book also would be available on Sept. 15 and cited concerns not about sales, but about "security and logistical issues," since resolved. The book has an announced first printing of 5 million copies and is under embargo until its publication date. Bureau Report
