well well well, it looks like this story has not quite come to an end after all, since today i received another mail from Corvina :
Quote:
Dear A.,
Thank you for your inquiry re. Frigyes Karinthy’s novel, Please, Sir!
We have not responded earlier because Corvina is
Planning to republish the work, but has not yet come to a final
decision. It should be made soon, at which time I will
get back to you without delay.
All best,
Judith Szollosy

naturally i leapt immediately into the breach, here is my reply :

Dear Judith,
I sincerely appreciate your communication. Please do keep me informed. May I ask most particularly, whether you have plans to publish a digital edition (e-book) of this work ? Allow me to most enthusiastically encourage you to do so ; I for one would love to have all of Karinthy's works in digital format (thus indeed my original inquiry, concerning the copyright status of the translation of Please, Sir, which is available online in digital format but not as an ebook which can be read on a dedicated device such as the Bookeen Cybook Gen3 or Sony Reader for example), and I sincerely hope that you will make these available in the very near future. I would be very interested to know your plans on this subject.
If you are interested in digital publishing, may I also invite you to take a look at the site https://www.mobileread.com, where you can get a lot of information about the current state of digital publishing, dedicated devices, and dialogue with a very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate community on every aspect of these questions, including the hoped-for evolution of the industry and emerging best practices.
Thank you again for your kind replies,
Best wishes,
A K
