Do they take requests of titles to put in ebook? Drives me crazy that they've skipped the one title.

Often it has to do with the contract language as a lot of books are in question as to if Harlequin or the author has the
digital rights. This is particularly true of the Silhouette series. Authors who are still actively writing for them have often been negotiating terms for the digital publishing. Others, like Nora Roberts, negotiated rights of certain titles for digital release (so Penguin Intermix digitally published a bunch of her Silhouette books and Harlequin retained the print rights). Also, novellas from the various Silhouette and Harlequin anthologies are in question as well.
Harlequin has repeatedly told me there are no current plans to releas any more Treasury titles.
