A reasonable question.
I'm not (yet) convinced that the paradigm shift from paper to electronic will be able to solve the problem of payment to authors quickly enough without going through some sort of transition period where the e-book form mimics the current paper-based form. That is a larger problem that will require another paradigm shift.
If the two can happen at the same time, I'd be happier than a pig in sh!t...but I don't want to see the e-book technology space die because of it.
