WEST Makes Some of Its Most Popular Law Books Available Via Kindle

We knew the day was coming when the legal publishing world caught on to the popularity of e-book readers. “Making Your Case” from Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia tops the list of books produced for the company’s first digital distribution effort.  West is making nearly 30 West titles available for electronic download for the Amazon Kindle.
