2: What is the deal with the prologue of the last book? (Wheel of Time)

As most are probably aware, Simon and Schuster have acquired
electronic rights to "Snow" which is the prologue
to _Winter's Heart_. They released the prologue in
electronic form on September 13th, 2000, at a price of $5.00.
They did NOT purchased the rights to the entire book, only
to the prologue. They will not publish the entire book
electronically, now or ever, unless they purchase the rights
to do so. There are no plans we know of which indicate this.

Note: THE TOR PRINTED EDITION CONTAINS THE ENTIRE PROLOGUE!
Therefore, buying the electronic version is not necessary.

Tor books, the publisher of the paper and ink version, had
nohing to do with this development. They have the rights
to the entire book, and obviously published the book complete.
