It's been my experience that reactions like this publisher's are born almost entirely out of fear. This is most definitely a publisher who hasn't the first clue on how to capitalize on what he fears is a coming wave of ebooks and deep discounts.
I wish him well, but I'm afraid he'll find more and more of his potential market switching sides on him.
If you're unwilling to share the publisher's name with me, I'd at least be curious to know if they serve a particular niche market and what that is.
