It's not *all* publishers.
Just the big NY/corporate publishing houses.
Indies and small, medium publishers aren't hurting much if at all.
Most of those $200 million are coming straight off the BPHs.

That is why the AAP report isn't worse.
The BPHs are seeing ebook sales drops in a still-expanding market.
