That must be very frustrating as an author, and I guess a lot of other authors are in the same situation. One thing that strikes me though, wouldn't it be easier as an author to just keep the e-book rights and offer them directly to Amazon and all the other big distribution channels or is this prevented when signing an agreement with publishers for the print edition.
