Yes, I completely agree. I actually bought this without checking first that an epub was available. You would think that a book entitled "Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Ebook Library" [my emphasis] that is listed as being able to be read on "ereaders" would actually BE an ebook.
Luckily, however, I was able to buy it with a one-off 90% coupon that they issued me along with a refund for a foreign-language book bought by mistake in March during the days of the multi-90% frenzy. At that time, none of the Marquez titles were available at all!
I also noticed that just after Marquez died, the omnibus price increased and ALL his individual books were jacked up on the Australian site to $14.99. Good job, Kobo!
