The NYT (22.07.10) reports that the literary agent Andrew Wylie is opening Odyssey Editions. His company will produce, exclusively for the Amazon Kindle store, e-versions of books that were marketed before the concept of digital rights existed. (While the copyrights for print are owned by traditional publishing houses, there is an ongoing controversy over electronic rights.) Amazon will sell these books for $9.99. The first twenty titles include R. Ellison’s “Invisible Man”, V. Nabokov’s “Lolita”, and S. Rushdie’s “Midnight’s Children”
