Unfortunately, I get the impression that the publishers may not be keeping all that OOP material to convert to e-books. Example, does Conde Nast or Bantam books still have the over 180 Doc Savage manuscripts? I doubt it. Unless some dedicated soul has preserved those books (or the Library of Congress will give them up), getting that old material could be tough.

I thought that there were repository libraries? Libraries that in theory keep a copy of everything that has been published in modern times? In theory those copies could used to create electronic copies.
