Why HN links it
Linked in a question about whether an e-book listed on Amazon counts as actively selling, which matters for rights reverting when a book goes out of print. The post covers author publishing contracts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
So, if an e-book is listed on Amazon, does that count as "actively selling it"? It's for sale, after all. The same happens with Print On Demand (POD). This is actually a real issue when authors have deals where rights revert to them when the book goes out of print. https://katemckean.substack.com/p/when-does-a-book-go-out-of...
