That is true, according to comments by some people that seem to have inside knowledge the publishing industry just isn't equipped at the moment to create a well-produced electronic version in the same process they already use to make print-books. E-book creation is just an added branch, instead of an integral part of the process.
My own experience with publishers is strictly in scientific journal publishing and they seem to do fine. But they manage to get authors, proofreaders, artists etc. to work for free. And somehow I do not think this ever will be a viable business model for publishing novels.
