Yes, I could have worded that better. Put simply: I found nothing to suggest that the argument over To Kill A Mockingbird had anything to do with ebooks. The articles I found suggest that she had been duped out of her rights and went to court to rectify the matter, I saw no mention of what she intended to do with her rights other than take back possession.
