If that is the common consensus, then there is no market for ebooks. If a publisher honestly believes (especially if they're correct) that they will make less money (and you're talking quite a bit less) from ebooks, or even loose money on them, compared to paper books, it would be literally criminal for them to pursue the ebook market at the expense of their shareholders.
