I agree Publishers have always had that. However E-Books can allow them to compete with that market and get something rather then nothing at all, with little extra cost or effort to themselves.

And while I would like it, I'm not really expecting Publishers to deeply discount new books, it could work as a viable strategy for older Midlist and Backlist books which right now are often even more expensive then the Paper or HB version.
