If I knew that Tor planned to start rolling out ebooks beginning on October 31 and weekly thereafter, I would calendar that date to begin looking for the books that interest me and I would be happy enough (of course, if they told me it would be October 31, 2012, I wouldn't be soothed at all!). Tor could so easily resolve this "problem" simply by giving realistic target dates (even if they slip a little) and by teaching customer service to acknowledge inquiries.

The fact that they have made books available for the Kindle (
and nothing else) frightens me more than it soothes me. Is Amazon making their own (monopolizing) deal with Tor and those of us who want ebooks but don't have Kindles are to be left out of an opportunity to purchase them sans Kindle?
Note: this is not a conclusion, just a question in my mind.
