Even for books that are available in paperback? That would explain why the deal fell through.
If an author actually owns the rights to electronic editions of books, could they contact Baen directly/through their agent? I'm in touch with an author who normally publishes through Tor, may be interested in getting into ebooks, and is wondering what their options are. I know with many books in the past few years the electronic rights have been specifically purchased by the publisher, but there are some older books involved here, some of which are out of print in paper.
