Actually, I think I would say that someone is just very greedy . The publishers are probably looking at increased margins and figuring it will pad their bottom lines rather nicely.

On the flip side, I am convinced that most publishers are still worried about undermining their traditional outlets (i.e. book stores). While they believe that the future is probably ebooks, they are worried that they won't survive if the old fashioned book store goes under.
