I'm certainly looking forwards to WFR in multiple formats (hopefully reasonably priced since I've already got it in PB) - but less enamoured of the sequels, which seem to lack something of the first novel's originality (and in the case of some of the later ones, can't remember which, they felt overly derivative of some of Jordan's novels).
That said, I'd be the first to applaud any author who's willing to support (with whatever degree of scepticism) the release of their books in e-book format... While I can understand some of the nervousness, my experience is that good quality, reasonably priced work doesn't need to worry about electronic media, DRM or otherwise - though I can see that the Publishers may need to consider streamlining operations in future...
p.s. Looking forward to the series, whenever it finally makes its way onto UK Terrestrial TV
p.p.s. Actress for Kahlan looks plenty attractive to me
