Sure, there is the possibility of piracy, but for an out of print title, you are capturing a sale and a royalty that would have either not have taken place but been part of the used book commerce stream.Į-Harlequin is offering an Anne Stuart bundle of out of print, hard to find category novels that were handpicked by Stuart as five of her favorites. The party that is left out in this scenario are the used book stores. Publishers and authors win because ebooks are not returnable cannot be sold cannot be traded. Readers have the opportunity to easily locate out of print titles and they are affordable. Republication of hard to find books in ebook format is a win win for publishers, authors and readers. Publishers are being more responsive by making backlist titles easily available in ebook format. Unfortunately, these books are often difficult to find and very expensive. Readers, particularly romance readers, are big glommers and they often are searching for the one book their reading buddy says is a must find. The e-backlist has been a long time in coming.
