I'll be interested in hearing what St. Martins has to say, if they ever get back to you. That is truely odd. Best case, they do plan to release #5, and it just hasn't wended its way through the ebook production process yet. (One thing I'm curious about is who actually prepares the Kindle versions Amazon offers. My guess is Amazon, not the original publisher.)

I don't see anything to "forgive" in Tor's offer. They stated that the freebie ebooks were promotion for the new Tor.com site. They never said they were anything else, or that they indicated any future direction Tor planned to take in ebooks. I agree that it would have been splendid if Tor actually had the remaining books in ebook form for series they offered the first of in the promotion. But I wasn't angry about it. I can't justify getting angry about not getting something the other party never committed to supply in the first place.
