I do think a link to the past six months of nominated eBooks would be a good idea. Then we can do our own policing of that.
I don't think either is necessary. For links/ebook availability, most people already look at availability (and cost) before they choose what to vote for, so if they vote for a book that isn't available as an ebook they should have been aware of that before voting. Not having a link is a big warning sign for me. For the 6 month rule, we can already do our own policing since finding the last 6 months isn't hard to do, it's just that no one seems concerned enough about it to do it for each nomination.

Like I said, if you want to make and maintain a 6-month list I would add that to the selections list thread, you could put it in that thread if you wanted. I keep the selection list updated with links to all of the nomination/vote threads, so it shouldn't take too much time to create one (or to check them without the list).
