Also, if the authors are popular enough the publishers can show them that in fact there books are already pirated and out there on the darknet. So, not selling ebooks is just plain stupid decision. They have "made their customers pirates".

hm, good point. but the problem is, epublishing is really only just now getting started in france ; there are a LOT of ebooks available in english, so that could be a viable solution (if the situation is the same there), but in france the selection is frustratingly REALLY limited (and practically none of the authors i specifically want to read are available so far in ebooks). so, if a lot of authors are digging in their heels against ebooks, that will just delay things even
more, and we are already chomping at the bit over here, so to speak. honestly, i would rather we first get them to publish digitally, *then* convince them to drop drm. i just want my books !
