We all agree that they need an overhaul, but publishers cannot set aside book distribution contracts that have already been signed, merely because they don't fit in with the world of e-books.
I'm sure that more "sensible" distribution deals (world-wide non-exclusive distribution) will be signed for new books, but we all have to accept that it's going to take many, many years before all the
existing distribution contracts expire.
