I've not heard anything.
It was always a bit frustrating, as a collector, when the style of the books changed, just as you were getting the set in the same format. I know a lot of people got really frustrated when collecting (for example) the "Black Covered" books, only to find that Eric wasn't available in that format, because it was released by a different publisher. I don't consider myself a collector, as such, but I do have various copies in paper and/or hardback, and even most of the books on Kindle though.
