Macmillan gets paid the SAME for for ebooks as they do for hardcovers, so what does matter if they sell more ebooks or hardcovers? Actually, since they get paid the same, they really make MORE money on the ebook because the cost of production is subtancially lower.
Some of it is an element of elitist snobbery, too, I think.
