So, it was announced today that Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol will be simultaneously released as an ebook.  So says  Suzanne Herz at the Knopf Publishing Groupthis morning, “Now that all of our security and logistical issues surrounding the e-book of THE LOST SYMBOL have been resolved, the e-book will be released simultaneously with the hardcover on September 15th. “   

Smart move, obviously.  But so secret is all the information regarding The Lost Symbol, that one can’t help but wonder if the reality is going to live up to the hype.     Publishing could really use a break, so whatever the format, we sure hope so. . .
