Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a book goes "out of print" the rights generally revert to the author?
And "out of print" is generally defined in a way that having no physical stock but it being loaded into a PoD system wouldn't count as "out of print"
So a publishing house could lock up a book until the copyright expires by doing so.

(I'm also not sure how having it available electronically only would affect whether it's "in print" or not so I'm potentially way off base, also, I assume a vast majority of the work to make a book available PoD is also required to make it available as an eBook)
