In the last few months I have noticed that many of the latest titles published by DK are not being uploaded to the web page. Until now most of them were immediately available the day they were released or very soon after. Sorry for the question, but is there any problem that explains why there is less availability of books from this publisher? Thank you in advance for your replies.

I probably didn't express myself well. What I mean is that many of the recent titles, with the exception of travel guides, do not appear in Mobilism. If you check the DK page yourself you will see that books like "The science of earth", "How arts work", the new edition of "Animal: the definitive visual guide", to name a few, are not offered on Mobilism . It's not a criticism, just an observation and that's why I'm asking the question.

I cannot say anything about the lack of posts, but what I've observed earlier in the year is that DK has stopped publishing protected PDFs. Only protected EPUBs were published from May 15th onward. I've checked some of my regular online retailers and one of them even stopped selling previously published PDFs.
I don't know if this is the future strategy of DK or not, but I'm sad as DK is publishing visually appealing books, and regular EPUBs cannot showcase look and feel of their average book. On the other hand, EPUB3 format can, but good readers for EPUB3 basically don't exist. Thorium is overbloated and functionally extremely limited, and R2 Reader has bugs the size of the Eiffel Tower.
That being said, I guess the rippers are staying away from EPUBs because they may be perceived as a waste of money in case of DK.

They are not converted, they are screenshots for each page, merged together to PDF.
The quality of them is okay but not the best, but you still can manage to enjoy them
If you need help, ask Google, not me!
