I have just done a comparison of Eberron products against the DriveThruRPG.com list of PDFs and noticed that (apart form obvious stuff like novels, GM Screen, Character Sheets and the odd-one-out Adventurer's Guide to Eberron) only Secrets of Sarlona & City of Stormreach are not available in PDF.

Anyone know whether WOTC are likely to release these last two as PDFs? I currently own only the Campaign Setting book and GM screen but was thinking of picking up the PDFs now that 3.5 Eberron stuff has come to an end.

WotC is not likely to release the last two as PDFs, which is a real shame, because Secrets of Sarlona is one of my favorite Eberron books.

Not true. They just put out FR's Shadowfell. I don't get the impression they are done with 3.5 PDFs. I think they are just preoccupied.

I'm personally holding out for these two PDFs.

What's the difference between that and what they have now (besides the obvious price difference)?

I know I'm hoping WotC will allow Paizo to post the few issues in between Dragon being bought by them, and Paizo still owning them. I want to read Quoth the Raven, but haven't been able to find it.

You should email customer service about that. I recently did, and pointed them to a few threads here and on Paizo's site about that very same topic. Here's what they wrote:

Thanks for your feedback!

We have regular meetings with the administrative staff, we will pass this idea on at our next one. While we cannot guarantee a response to your feedback, we can promise that your comment will be heard.

The more people email them about those late Paizo-era back issues that Paizo can't publish as PDFs, the more they might seriously consider allowing it or selling them through their own channels (i.e. - drivethrurpg.com).

Re the PDFs of the thread title - I emailed WOTC Customer Support and got the following answer:
"Unfortunately no announcement has been made regarding the subject."

So at least it isn't a definate no.

Hopefully they will be released and the PDFs will remain on sale indefinately. I just ordered the complete Eberron collection off Amazon but would still like the opportunity to buy PDFs every so often.

Yes, this gives me hope that Secrets of Sarlona & City of Stormreach will be released in PDF too.

City of Stormreach was released today. They've done a decent job on the bookmarks too, unlike some of the other PDF releases.
