AP National Writer
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.
