That was a problem I had with the novel Cyberbooks* by Ben Bova. I had it as a printed paperback, and for years I looked for an ebook version but couldn't find it. I finally discovered that it was part of a collection of humorous sci-fi books under the title Laugh Lines. If you can find it it is is a good read.

*The novel was prophetic about ebooks, with the ereader in the book very similar to the ones we now have. It was released approximately 10 years before the first commercially available ereaders. The novel dealt with the issues that were trying to stop ebooks, such as: (1) the Unions didn't want them because it would reduce the number of drivers and reduce the number of Union members, and (2) the Environmentalists didn't want it because it will reduce the issues they have to protest against.
