They might believe that digital distribution will eventually push prices lower. Or that without paper distribution, the publishing houses will become much less relevant. As kirtai mentioned, there are also piracy fears that could come into play.
Whatever the reason, they seem to be lagging behind. Due to the snail's pace of my internet connection, ebooks are one of the few areas where online distribution makes sense for me.
