Seriously?

If there is no demand for a book why not just turn it over to the public domain?

And yet you know that they will not do so.

Is there anyone here that can't make a list of books (that they would like to read) that have not been published in decades?

Is there a great cost to the publisher? Give me a break. They own title to the rights already, so there is no cost there. What is the cost to Google to convert a paper book? Even at $2 to $4 retail, I'm sure that they can make more money than just letting it sit in the dark.
