Digital Only Contracts

Last night on #IndieChat, we talked about the publishing industry in regards to ebooks. There were a lot of questions thrown around about where publishing will go in the future. Will ebooks do completely away with the paper version? I don't think so, but it did make me wonder about something I'd read earlier in the day.

In one of my other writing groups, a person asked what we thought about a publisher offering a contract for her digital rights only. That would mean she wouldn't have the printed version at all.

There were several opinions tossed around, most not happy with a publisher that would limit an author like that, especially with the "Right of First Refusal" clause limiting the entire series to this same format and publisher.

So, I'm curious. What have you heard about publishers doing this sort of thing? Would you sign a contract for ebook only? What would be your conditions if you did?
