Since I wronged you in another thread, I'm glad to agree with you here.
Newspapers withered (at least, their staffs have withered) before publishers because people are more willing to read news stories on a PC than to read a novel on a PC. Internet-connected PC's became ubiquitous maybe a dozen years before eReaders became widespread. Not that history is going to repeat itself exactly, or that one can predict the future. (Well, one can predict it, just not with risk of egg on the face.)
