Agassi`s publisher withholds e-edition

Eager to read Agassi`s memoir, don`t expect to download it any time soon.

New York: If you`re eager to read Andre Agassi`s memoir, don`t expect to download it any time soon.

Agassi`s `Open` will not be available as an e-book when the hardcover comes out, Nov 9, and publisher Alfred A Knopf has not set a date for a digital version. "We`re not releasing an e-book at this time but may consider releasing one in the future," Knopf spokesman Paul Bogaards said Thursday. E-editions also have been withheld for Sarah Palin`s "Going Rogue," Edward Kennedy`s "True Compass" and Stephen King`s "Under the Dome" as publishers worry that the growing e-market will take business from the more expensive hardcovers. In Agassi`s book, No. 9 on the best-seller list of Amazon.com as of Thursday afternoon, the tennis great acknowledges using crystal meth in the 1990s and then lying to the Association of Tennis Professionals tour after failing a 1997 drug test.
