New D&D edition in the works

At first I thought this was a money grab, but after reading the article I think it's just an act of desperation. I think they were on the right track with 3rd edition, but I think they should have done it like Avalon Hill did with the Advanced Squad Leader game. The rulebook was loose-leaf, so that when changes to the rules came out, you could replace superceded pages. They should have done that with D&D, and then with spells and monsters did something along the lines of the old monstrous Compendium, where a page (or more as needed) was devoted to each monster. Probably don't need a whole page for spells, though...

And why the hell aren't the D&D books available for e-readers?

Me and a couple of friends took part in the first round of play-testing.
It was fun though I still prefer 3.5. Game play was really lethal and one of the best strategies was to get everyone really drunk, because it gave damage reduction with no penalties. I think the play-testing is still open even.

Is it true that it's based on the miniatures game?

I think its less based on the miniatures game than 4e was, we did not actually play with miniatures at all. If you are interested in looking over the most current iteration of D&D Next rules you can sign up for play-testing.
