See the link below for the post on tor.com, complete with pictures of the new covers for the first three books. But essentially, Tor will be re-releasing the entire series as trade paperbacks (the hardback-sized paperbacks) with new cover art. The cover art is based on the wonderful e-book art. The first three books will be released this summer.
No word on whether or not the whole series will be re-released before the final book comes out, but it doesn't look like there'll be time since the first three are coming out one month at a time. However, this gives them a new cover template that they might use for the hardcover of the final book.
My own Wheel of Time collection is partly small paperback and partly hardcover. I don't see myself buying the trade paperbacks, though you never know. If I can't ever find used hardcovers to replace my current paperbacks (Books 1-4 and 6), trade paperbacks might be an okay compromise.
What do you think of the new covers?

Love the Ebook covers, wish they'd rerelease the HBs with them full size though. *NM*

I like Great Hunt's art, but not the other two. And don't like the presentation on any of them. *NM*

Nice, although there seems to be a lot of wasted cover space. *NM*

Trying to get me to spend more on new covers is futile - I'd buy them without covers to save a buck *NM*

I got the ebooks recently, and I love these new covers. My favourites are FoH and CoS.
