Epub Release Dates - Different than Hardcover?!?!

Okay - I am ticked off! I've been waiting for a book to be released for what seems like forever (2nd book in a series - Pandemonium, by Lauren Oliver) and I cannot find the ePub on the Kobo website, even though the hardcover was released on Feb. 17, 2012.

Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com are both releasing the hardcover and the ePub on Feb. 28th (which must be the Harper Collins USA's official release date) AND Amazon allows PRE ORDERS for digital books and will deliver the book to their Kindle users the date that it is released. Now I am feeling a little ripped off!

So...what I can't figure out is why Harper Collins Canada would release the hardcover, but no the ePub?! Does this happen often? I have emailed them to ask them the release date, but no reply yet.

Sure, I can wait patiently to see when the ePub is released, but I am dying to read it!!!! I was flipping though the hardcover at Coles yesterday and I was sooo tempted....but the whole reason I have THREE (yep, count 'em, THREE) Kobos is to NOT add to my overflowing bookshelf, and buying a paper book now seems almost blasphemous!

So...I sit idly waiting...
