Authors and Publishers Argue Over Digital Rights to Older Books - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  •  
    I wonder if publishers can make the argument that the work done on the book as a whole (primarily editing, but the .pdf format of the eBooks are still a very popular format, so design & typesetting come into play) would preclude them from giving the author the final files to create the eBook with another publisher.

Stephen R. Covey Grants E-Book Rights to Amazon - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Amazon, maker of the popular Kindle e-reader and one of the biggest book retailers in the country, will have the exclusive rights to sell electronic editions of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” and a later work, “Principle-Centered Leadership.” Mr. Covey also plans to gradually make other e-books available exclusively to Amazon, which will promote them on its Web site.
  • The move promises to raise the already high anxiety level among publishers about the economics of digital publishing and could offer authors a way to earn more profits from their works than they do under the traditional system.
  • Many authors and agents say that because the contracts for older books do not explicitly spell out electronic rights, they reside with the author. Big publishing houses argue that clauses like “in book form” or phrases that prohibit “competitive editions” preclude authors from publishing e-books through other parties.
