And he's right to be cranky. Emailing the author is all very well, but it's the
publisher who holds the cards. The contract with the publisher likely includes electronic rights, and even if it doesn't, few authors will risk their pbook publisher's ire by releasing electronic versions the publisher might see as competing with the pbook. They want to
stay under contract for pbooks.
With Scalzi, pushing ebooks is preaching to the choir in any case.
