I think that ebook business models will evolve when established authors decide that they can make more money with a different model and care enough to make the effort.
Publishers are only as profitable as their client list permits them to be and the money seems to be in popular prolific authors.
While it is the choice of these authors to support whatever the publisher decides, things will change slowly. And I admire an author who is loyal to the company that got them started and/or helped them to achieve fame and monetary security.
Still, I think eventually decisions will be made that will change the way ebooks are sold and that the most significant will be author driven. Contracts will expire, and authors will experiment.
Not too likely to happen overnight though.
