Sounds as if they have some issues to discuss first. This: "I og med at e-bøker trolig vil bli en god del billigere enn p-bøker..." sounds encouraging though (but I don't know how reliable the source is )

The statements from Danish Gyldendal that I have read, regarding publishing of ebooks, sounds promising both with regards to actually publishing books, as well as being aware that file formats and DRM is a serious issue for their prospective customers. I don't expect to see anything DRM free yet, but crossing my fingers for at least epub.
