And I agree it doesn't make sense to say all other rights revert to the author and then say if they decide to print the text later then they claim that right. I mean what happens if they don't print it right away and say 6 months later when you have had it in print they decide to print it? They could say that you violated their right to print it 1st from what I read into your posting. They should say that they claim 1st electronic rights and 1st print rights and then everything reverts back to you the author. That at least would make sense.

Thanks crich. It just seems so unnecessarily vague to me. And I agree: they should just claim what they want.
