So you are going to tell me that the best sellers are only printed once????
There are never reprints.
I know most books don't sell well but some do and some are reprinted many times.
Do you have any proof that publishers do or do not keep electronic copies?
If not, then the question you asked cannot be answered by anyone but the publishers.
Oh the book I was referring to is "All the President's Men."
I know because the "Sundance Kid" and "Ted Kramer/Tootsie" are on the cover.

And I can think of books that have had many, many runs. Doesn't change the fact that most books have only one run.
I'm not the one who is asserting that it's the publisher's responsibility to keep electronic copies of every book they have ever printed on the off chance that someone might want to use it to generate an ebook at some point in the unknown future regardless of whither the publisher in question has the ebook rights to the work.
