They most certainly could, and that's just one of the things that I don't understand about the Big 5. They should be falling all over ebooks. No used books sales. No sharing of books with your best friend. Every copy that is read *should* be paid for. If they'd just get behind ebooks, they could be rolling in profit. But no. We'll just cling to our old way of doing business, piss off readers and authors and finally die a slow lingering death.
