That is a concern for publishers, as they try to figure out how to navigate the transition and make money on the ebook editions.

you make vaild points--but don't you think Kindle could re-ignite a new generation of readers?--especially the under 25s who have left books behind.
If you think publishers aren't working stuff out --Hornby's books all cost more in the UK on kindle than they do PBack
Navigation is always difficult in periods of transition--books are going through a massive change
those publishers that embrace the winds of change willingly and quickly, will likely do best.
If your money was on Ebooks and Kindle at this moment my bet was that it would be very safe
but we'll see.
