We're proud to be in the forefront of publishing eBooks in Microsoft Reader format.'' Fictionwise offers hundreds of titles from contemporary fiction authors, including: Robert Silverberg, Nancy Kress, Damon Knight, Mike Resnick, Michael Swanwick, James Patrick Kelly, Pamela Sargent, Tom Purdom, and Kate Wilhelm. Fictionwise currently has rights to nearly 400 short fiction eBooks, with an estimated 500 available by the end of this year. ``Since we launched in June, the response has been far greater than we anticipated,'' commented Scott Pendergrast, co-publisher. ``Offering high quality content from established authors in all major eBook formats has garnered us a large, loyal membership base in a very short time.
