I don't think anyone knows how many TOPAZ ebooks there are, because Amazon does not allow a format specific search. However, no matter how many there are they are almost all TOPAZ exclusives. If they were available in another reflowable format (ePub or MOBI or eReader) then there is no need for the publisher to pay Amazon to produce a TOPAZ version. So it isn't usually a matter of buying in ePub (say) instead, there is typically no legal alternative to TOPAZ. I have a couple of TOPAZ ebooks that are no longer on sale in the Kindle Store because they have been replaced by AZW vesions. So over time the publisher might decide to do their own ebook, supplanting the TOPAZ, but this does not happen often in my experience.
