In addition, there is a very, very, very "strange" quality introduced by the arrival of ebook.
The publisher never-ever runs out of supply, it is endless. The initial investment lasts forever (no reprint costs, no worries about the quantity). No stock. The only risk is the one associated with the initial investment (will this sell, or not).
