How about sending the author that picture along with 50% of what you paid for it? Remember, they made far less than the used book store owner on the initial sale, and nothing on the purchase you just made.
Seriously, you could include in that a note that suggests to them they ask their agent or, better yet, a lawyer whether or not the publisher owns e-book rights. Publishers are now trying to claim that e-book rights are inherent in old contracts. This is not so, unless specifically outlined, but they're trying to intimidate authors into believing it.
Better yet, invite them to mobile read to help them understand there is another way. Help them realize what a great community there is ready to help them.
Try working with the authors, not embarrassing them. Please.
