I do think there is some truth in what you say. In some cases, I think the publisher is holding the work hostage because of the new law that releases copyright back to the author after 35 years. I've been waiting for a couple early books from Christopher Stasheff to be in ebook form. I'm going to have my omnibus edition OCR'd since I can't read it without conversion to ebook. Id been holding off because the book is destroyed in the process, but eventually, one just has to move on.
