I'd first read about it on EN World, definitely.I don't know if this policy will hold true going forward -- for all I know it may, but with a specific exception for the 4E core books -- but it was true for 3.5 books.As a point of reference, Amazon lists KotS as released on May 20th, and it's definitely shipping now and has been for a while.  Does that jibe with street release dates?Oh, and for the record, I have no jealous motive: I'm not switching to 4E, and so far as I know, nor are the other two DMs I play with.  One of them may be buying it, but I'm not.</blockquote>
