I recently saw news that Harper Collins had filed suit against Open
Road Media. This case was filed over the holidays and raises the issue
of whether older author-publisher contracts cover e-books rights. It
seems to revisit the issue that was raised by Random House v. Rossetta
Books back in 2002 (see
http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Random_House_v._Rosetta_Books). This is
the post I saw on the Harper Collins case :

Does anyone know anything more about this?
