I must respectfully disagree with you. Almost all newly-published books are released as ebooks, and generally considerably below the price of the paper book. It costs money to release backlist titles as ebooks, since in almost all cases the book is not available in electronic form, but most of the major publishers are doing a pretty decent job of gradually releasing their backlist.
