They can't sell all their ebooks, but they can sell so few that maintaining the marketing infrastructure isn't profitable. At that point, what happens to the licensed right to sell copies of their master file is probably an asset that either gets sold to the highest bidder, or returns back to the publisher.
Maybe they lose their license to sell the ebooks when their volume drops below a certain level and it returns to the publisher.
It all sounds sad and ugly to me!
