What precisely is there to resolve? Unless you forgot to mention that he was not getting royalty payments for his eBook sales.

Or does your author wish to minimize the number of outlets selling his books and (indirectly) paying him royalties?

Forgive the snark, but you wrote as though having the book available for sale as an eBook was in and of itself something questionable.
