I assume you're refering to the book one as Topaz that phenomshel mentioned. Those appear to be made by Amazon themselves. So that would be why it's not available elsewhere yet. Again it takes time and money to put these out. Say the series is by a mid-list author that sells a fair amount, but not tons in paper. They're not going to be the first books on the list to get done.

And speaking of series, the Sword of truth series seems to be a bust as far as eBooks go. Book 1 is only available at Amazon. It was supposed to be an exclusive for just 6 months. But it is not anyplace else. And the rest are noplace in sight. So thereis another eBook series that's gone to heck.
Here, if I remember correctly, Goodkind holds the digital rights for book 1 so that's on him and Rosetta that it's not available. Maybe once Tor gets their store going things will get better. Maybe it's being held until Tor is ready with their store. Don't really know.
