There was an article profiling the author of Wool posted here (possibly!) recently. He turned to self-publishing on Amazon and sold on a cost, then had the leverage to say to publishers he was keeping the digital rights and no argument as they were worth significantly more than the print rights. I think publishers as time goes on will become more tuned to that and stop offering any form of contract that doesn't grant them digital exclusive rights as well. Looks like traditional publishers are going to end up doing more for self-publishing than anyone else.
