Hmmm...from what I have seen, there are quite a few cases where the author would love to publish their backlists in e-format, and the publishers (who are in control of the copyright) are not allowing it...at least this is the impression I've gotten from author blogs that I've read here and there. Am I mistaken? Do most authors have the rights to re-publish their books, but choose not to?
