Nabokovs publishers told me they have difficulties with foreign rights and thus are not able to sell Lolita as an ebook. How come? I wanted to buy the German translation, whats foreign with that?

Where can I buy Musil or Heimito von Doderer? Where do I get a copy of Fernando Pessoa?
Here again we have the absurd situation that books by Feuchtwanger, Musil and Pessoa (in German) are easily available as pirated material in high quality PDFs, yet not as legal ebook.
