For a lot of the authors I'm thinking of, at the time they sold the rights to their books, the possibility of digital editions didn't even exist.

Not too sure about that one. A lot of people get screwed on contracts because things change or they were not aware of all of the implications. If society started amending contracts what use would they be?
