It occurs to me that typically a book is out of print because the publisher can't be bothered with it anymore.
So if the copyright holder doesn't care, should anyone else be expected to?
This leads me to believe that ideally the right to publish the book should revert to the author in the case where the publisher allows it to go out of print. Presumably the author still cares. And I imagine that an author could publish in eBook form an existing work at minimal cost and effort if he cared to.
