A bit of background from the guy coordinating the production and delivery of the WoT ebooks (that would be me):

The Wheel of Time books will all go for a DLP (Digital List Price) of $15.00 for the foreseeable future (yes, they are pricey, Artanian. You are, however, dead wrong in your assertions—but that's a conversation for another post. Suffice it to say that pricing is a much more complicated issue than you've ever made it out to be, and that it's ultimately out of our hands), and will be published one a month until they are all out. For those doing the math, that means that The Gathering Storm will come out in November of 2010.

It's available at all major ebook retailers including B&N, Amazon, and Sony. All are available as ePub files (which the nook will read, Browncoat Jayson), with the exception of Amazon, obviously, which is available as a Kindle Mobipocket edition.

All digital editions were created from one master ePub file hand-QA'd by yours truly, working from re-proofread, re-copyedited and updated manuscripts, re-typeset layouts and hand-coded source files from our suppliers, all double-checked by Team Jordan; however, each retailer converts and ingests the file in their own way, and results therefore vary. If you have a choice, and care about having the nicest-looking digital edition, buy it as an ePub from the Sony Store (a bit more expensive than Amazon and B&N, but you'll get nice formatting and a pretty, higher-res cover).

I'm working on a very extensive post about the process of putting these editions together, and going into much more detail about all of the above (and yes, I *will* be naming names, for those of you who follow ebook developments closely and are aware of the players involved). Might not post it on Tor.com, but I'll certainly link to it from this site.
