if the publishers won't the authors will
If the publishers won't republish the backlist the author would have every right to take back their rights to it and publish it themselves. They spent months of time writing those books, they were on the shelves for a few months and then pulled to make room for the next month's book. All that work and no further income for it ever. All the people moaning over the poor authors and low priced ebooks don't seem to care about all the books languishing unpublished with NO further income for the author. At least with low cost ebooks the author gets SOMETHING. And if they take back the rights and publish themselves they get a lot even with low prices.
