I think like most new technologies, the publishers really don't get it. Until they get the e-book prices down to the paperback prices you'd pay at a bookstore, they're not really going to have mass appeal.
That was the genius of the whole I Tunes thing, make music available at an attractive price and people will buy it. Same thing here with books. Make them available at a fair price and people will rush to buy them. Charge a high price for em and the market goes away.
