E-Book Saga Is Full of Woe--and a Bit of Intrigue
Random Worries About Rights to Classics, That's why Random House is continuing its fight against RosettaBooks, a small New York electronic publisher. Rosetta acquired from three Random authors the rights to digitally distribute their novels. Random is afraid that it will have to renegotiate the electronic rights to its entire backlist of thousands of classics. These are books it signed up long before any publisher knew to ask writers for digital rights.
"The lawsuit is all about the future, and the potential for e-books that has yet to be realized," said Random spokesman Applebaum.
At least one of the writers whose work is being fought over doesn't believe that potential will ever come to pass. "The e-book is a ridiculous idea," said Vonnegut, who hasn't read his work on a computer and never intends to. "The printed book is so satisfactory, so responsive to our fingertips. So much of this new stuff is utterly unneeded."
