It's rather obvious why they do not bring the ILiad fast

The funny thing about arvato is that they are in the print business also. Here an exerpt from their website:

So if you get your ILIad you are one potential customer less for traditional books, so a threat to their market ...

And I would't say their weird - they have about 42000 employees (worldwide). I have worked with one of their consultants (they also have a consulting branch) and he was not weird in any way.
