I think this is a scoop, I haven't found a reference to it elsewhere.

Ummm, No April Fools. Check the links.
I think it's been reported elsewhere, but that's the first time I've seen the cover art.
(and no, it's not goatse! I know, I killed the joke. I am officially no fun.)
Kind of cool that it's a re-working of the 1E Manual of the Planes cover, with the big, smiling...uh...thingy. Astral Behemoth? Forget what they were called...

A hardcover adventure for $25?!
WTF? Is this supposed to be like those massive FR "mega-adventures" I guess? It seems a bit early to release that kind of stuff. Shouldn't they focus on some regular, soft-cover, shorter term stuff for the time being? Or are they thinking that D&D Insider Dungeon will fill that need?

They've said in the past that adventures aren't profitable.
Maybe they will be profitable, at a $25 price point.

Pure speculation on my part.

Keep on the Shadowfell is supposed to be hardcover..but that's a special, preview adventure that has extra content to let you play without having the core books. So the hardcover and higher price is justified.
Is this the format they're using for all of their adventure modules; that each one is like its' own supplement, or mini-campaign setting? H2 is a paperback module, the rest of the adventures I saw bopping around Amazon were hardcover.

Well, at least to me it seems obvious why they may kill 3rd party support, they want thier overpriced & page padded adventures to sell. The two pages per encounter-writeup is fine in a digital medium, but in a hardback, it is just way too much filler.
And while I am glad to see the Astral Dreadnaught back again, the art makes it look too marshmallowy. IMHO they could have copypastaed the 1e cover version and photoshopped in a astral ship and it would have looked far better.
