Book publisher

by metallicafan » Mon Sep 10, 2012 11:55 am
The largest trade-book publisher in the US has announced the creation of a new digital imprint division, under which it will publish about 20 purely digital works to be sold online as either electronic books or downloadable copies that can be printed upon purchase.

A) works to be sold online as either electronic books or
B) works to sell them online, either as electronic books or
C) works and it will sell them online as either electronic books or as
D) works, and selling them online as either electronic books or as
E) works, and it will sell them online as either electronic books or

How does "and" change the meaning in E in comparison with A?
How should we understand the meaning of that choice?

OA is A.

I don't even think there is anything wrong grammatically with E. The only thing that maybe I would be cautious about is by the , and IT... if your starting the new sentence it should say , and the publisher will sell them online.... But A is clearly more concise and well worded.
