You seem to take it as guaranteed that every new book from here on out is (a) going to have an eBook version, (b) going to be available to be offered via a subscription service if only someone will start one, and (c) can be offered via subscription service at a lower/competitive price that makes the service worthwhile.
I don't think you can bet on ANY of those things. People are providing examples to you of authors/publishers who won't publish in electronic format, of publishers who won't even cooperate with libraries let alone subscription services, and of price fixing that will effectively shut down competitive pricing via a service.

I thought we were talking about the possibility of ebook subscriptions, not whether we could achieve Instant Ebook Nirvana.
In any industry adoption of the new follows a particular pattern:
*There are the early adopters , who in effect beta test the new.
*There are the bandwagon jumpers who come in after the early adopters and take the innovation mainstream
* There are the slowpokes who get in after most people are already engaged
*Finally, there are the bitter enders whgo never get reconciled to the new , even after it isn't new anymore.
Right now, ebooks are becoming mainstream .As it becomes mainstream,ebooks will increasingly adopt mainstream methods of sales-one of which will be various forms of subscription. Its possible that not every publisher and author will go along with subscription models. Its enough if most eventually will.
As I have said above, it's likely that subscription models will be adopted in a stepwise fashion , with best selling authors joining up last. That is entirely predictable , since they have the most to lose. I would note that with Audible you can get NYT bestsellers now.
