Get notification when ebook becomes available when I select a print book of interest

When a publisher releases a new book print only, and I'm only interested in purchasing it as ebook, I want to set some kind of notification on individual titles I am interested in, so that when Gobi gets the ebook, I get emailed telling me it's now available as e. It seems that there are still many publishers who delay the e for months after the initial p release but will do e eventually - those are the ones I want to capture with this.

    Actually I have been in touch and it does not. Gobi has a similar notification but that only applies to print books that matched our approval profile. What I'm asking for is the ability to activate such a notification on a book by book basis without regard to whether it matched any of our profiles, for instance when I hear about a new book from a news source.
