Again, you seem to think, despite all evidence to the contrary, that publishers are declining. Or even that their decline is accelerating. They aren't and it isn't.

Publisher revenues are up, publisher sales are up, and publisher profits are up.

Now of course things might change, but right now publishers seem to be doing very well, and it seems to be happening because people are buying their e-books.
