Don't forget, authors and their publishers may have widely differing views on ebooks. Some authors will be angry their publishers only have DRM-locked ebooks, and some will be angry their publishers don't have stronger DRM. At the end of the day, the publisher is in charge in this situation. Authors can negotiate at contract time, but if the publisher already holds the ebook rights they can present the ebooks in any format they want without referring back to the original author.
