I don't really get what publishers have against ebooks. I just don't. It's just another form. Get it out there and let people read.
What they have against them is the low financial entry bar.
Their business model required the high costs to limit competition. That was neither an incidental nor optional component. Fast or slow, publishers will follow the milkmen and livery stables off the stage.
