I don't know anything about this particular edition, but I have talked to HC in the past about HoME ebooks and why they stopped doing them. It was to do with the fonts and text character size, increasing the size of the text did not work on earlier HoME ebooks, so they stopped doing them until this issue could be resolved.
Hoping it now has been resolved.
I would not expect much or any marketing for HoME ebooks from HC, but thanks for pointing this out

I've been told unofficially that they are all coming - hoping this is the start of an official release for the rest of the twelve.
Trotter: I totally get the trouble with fonts within the HoME volumes. Not an easy task and lets face it, not a big income either. I am surprised to see that they are returning to continue on with it.
Urulókë: I would have happily bought their PoD PDF files in place of ePub/Kindle files. I will use these on a Tablet anyway and PDF handles better I feel.

I have the first two on my Kindle, and have ordered this one. I'll report back when I get it on the font issues, which have hopefully been fixed.
More Tolkien is never a bad thing, is it?
However, Stu will never forgive them if these are typeset in China...

Using cheap Chinese electricity that could be used for Bitcoin mining instead (don't even get me started on that.....).
That's right, they're doing The History of Middle-earth book 3 in ebook finally, for those waiting! Here's hoping books 4-12 won't take as long...
I'm sure you guys know, but an FYI that The History of the Hobbit exists in ebook form.
But I'm sure there may be more marketing closer to the date. Slightly off topic, but we're still awaiting the final product images for the upcoming collector's edition of "Letters From Father Christmas."

Have seen on Twitter that The Shaping of Middle-earth is coming out as an eBook on Apple Books on the 21st October 2019, expect it will also be available for the Kindle at about the same time
