If people in the publishing industry want to maintain their livelihood, they need to evolve. When there are no printing or paper costs in publishing an ebook, should I feel bad that an ebook-only publisher doesn't pay money to printing presses?

You do not have a right to a business model. What worked 20, 10, or even 5 years ago may not work today. Just because it was a good model yesterday doesn't mean it's a good model today or forever.
