I thought I had done my "due diligence" with The Crimson Chalice, only to find I had been misled by Amazon. (Please don't get me wrong: I'm not upset; I was very happy with the other nominations; I am just trying to clarify this issue with regard to regional availability.)
Yes, I do think the nominator should take some steps to make sure a book is available in epub or mobi format. This is, after all, MobileRead. But short of various convolutions that not everyone will be happy doing, I think it will come down to others letting the nominator know if there are availability problems.
If our system would then allow a problem nomination to be withdrawn (and so become available for re-use with some other book), then so much the better ... although this doesn't worry me overly much; my brief time here makes me think there is not going to be any shortage of interesting reading material.
