Your guess is as good as mine.
In one particular genre author's case I've come to suspect he fears that if enough authors go indie/ebook, the value of bookstores (where his front table placement butters his bread) will vanish. Which is a real threat since his genre is one of the few where ebooks are already over 50% of sales.
Others openly admit they want to be paid in full for books that aren't read so they fear that pay per page will be applied to ebook sales and not just rentals.
Others seem to whine simply because it's Amazon.
None are honest enough to admit their own self interest like Konrath and Howey do. It's as if they think people are too blind to see through their smokescreens.
