I'd like to share a link to an informative article by Authors' Guild.
https://www.authorsguild.org/industry-advocacy/a-publishing-contract-should-not-be-forever/
Many authors' contracts were limited by "in print/out of print" wording, but now that a publisher often asserts ebook rights, an ebook never truly goes out of print, and a protection for authors --of books that are not being promoted, marketed, or profitably exploited-- has been lost.
Other fine Authors' Guild articles on contracts are:

https://www.authorsguild.org/industry-advocacy/half-of-net-proceeds-is-the-fair-royalty-rate-for-e-books/
My best wishes,
Rowena Cherry
