I know what you mean. I've noticed that almost all the things that I've been willing to buy in English are either Viz or DMP. I also don't particularly like the way they translated volume 1 of Kino's Journey. Which is why I bought them all in Japanese... :p, even though it takes me probably three times longer to read.

so did tokyopop completely dropped this or are they just releasing with a massive delay?
when i checked for the kino artbook i coincidentally discovered that tokyopop is supposedly releasing v5 of the novel in august 2009 in german (according to amazon).
"buch.de"´s release date is in september. however i cant seem to find neither a official release date on tokyopop´s german website nor any releasedates for further english version at all.

They dropped (or just cancelled?) the series because it didn't sell too good. :S
