Hi,
Does any one know if FoG will ever be released in an EPub format for the E-Readers?
Thanks,
Dave B.

After investigation I can confirm this is entirely illegitimate.
The company mentioned is hiding in the legal shadows. They link to files hosted illegally on other sites and get a referral fee from these sites for sending you there. The illegal sites charge you a fee to download the books, none of which they have rights to. It is all piracy and 100% illegal. The referring company seems to think its ok for them to pass you to someone who is breaking the law and their hands are clean. They know what they are doing and don't care. We've contacted them but the process for having files removed is so complex its unlikely they ever do and they probably spend more on lawyers than anything else.
I would avoid these sites lilke the plague. When investiagting an issue like this recently it killed my machine due to a virus that came from just visiting the illegal site in question. I was luck - many others have had control of their PC and bank details stolen by doing the same. I did not download anything I just went to the site. I have up to date virus protection, firewalls and malware protection. None of this guarnatees you are safe and even when you know what you're doign you'll still get a virus eventually.
For everyones sake avoid the file sharing sites and maybe they'll go out of business and the world will be a better place.
