If I transcribe an out-of-copyright text then there is no problem but if I photograph/photocopy the actual pages of a manuscript then I have the copyright in the actual photographs/scans and I can approve the use in a book but if nobody asks there may be no approval to reproduce in other media such as eBooks...
May not be helpful but that is reality at the moment...

This is a 2012 release from a 2007 paper edition. I suppose it's possible that they weren't thinking about ebooks in 2007. Why not get those rights for the ebook or insert text in lieu of pictures? Why would Columbia University Press release an ebook that seems to be useless for academic settings?
