I'm glad to see they're listening to requests and actively pursuing authors and publishers. It's my guess that the request link was put in as a response to the many individual email requests they get for books. When they first added it, my optimist side hoped it meant they wanted to store and organize that information to set their priorities. My pessimist side thought maybe they were just trying to unclog customer support's mailbox. Seeing them court Mr. Goodkind the way they have gives my inner optimist a boost. Regardless of whether it came from email requests or the new links, it seems to me a sign that think it's worth their while to listen to the customers and build the catalog we want.

Here's hoping the rising tide lifts all boats and these titles make it to everyone's favorite format soon.
