Here is the reply I received from Rue Morgue Press today:
"No plans to do so. There isn't much out there other than Amazon's Kindle (and Sony Reader) and we have rejected offers from Amazon, as of course Kindle is a proprietary property and so by letting them do it means that we give them an advantage over all the other bookstores. In fact, we're boycotting the World Mystery Convention because they're allowing Amazon to make a Kindle presentation."

I think in coming future they will rethink their strategy of not being so flexible and disallowing their readers a kindle formatted book. More interestingly I want to know if they are also opposed to Sony's ePub format?
