Not necessarily. Splitting print rights makes sense because distributing print books is geographical by nature. But distributing ebooks is global by nature. So authors can selling the rights for ebooks separately without geographics restrictions because they make less sense. But I think most authors are not aware of the issues because they still live in the 20th century on these matters (as probably also agents and publishers). Time to teach them!
