Amazon.com said today it would start offering electronic versions of books by business author Stephen Covey exclusively in its Kindle Store.

Electronic versions of Stephen Covey's best-selling books, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and "Principle-Centered Leadership" are available in the Kindle Store for $7.99. The e-books are being published through RosettaBooks.

Previously the print editions of the books were published through Simon & Schuster. The new deal with Amazon will give Covey more than half of the net proceeds from sales of the e-books.

Covey also has plans to release an upcoming book "Great Work, Great Career" exclusively in the Kindle Store.

"This is the first time these books have been available in a digital format, and I'm happy to be able to offer them exclusively on Kindle," said Covey.

"With so many readers using Kindle, this is a very effective way to reach people who want to easily download the books and begin reading them instantly."

Amazon said the books could be downloaded on Kindle, Kindle DX, Kindle for iPhone and Kindle for PC.

Covey is the 13th best selling author of all time on Amazon.
