Hi Starriger
Probably this is a question of semantics, In my country (and my language) editors and publishers are synonymous, or if you want, we do not have the term publishers, just Editors.
The Editors I know, are entrepreneurs, some have begun as writers but abandoned the activity long time ago, who are the owners of Publishing companies and make contracts with authors to publish their books, and thus, are the administrators, and for a period of time, “owners” of the “option” to publish in what format they desire, or not, republish or nor, etc… etc… etc…
So, I apologise in advance if I helped to create a confusion.
Still, and having clarified it, I stay completely by what I have said: all Editors I know are exactly how I describe them in my post.
You are right, change does not come in a day… but… eBooks are here for more then 10 years now (PDF is from the last century, Microsoft Reader is from 2000, Mobipocket is a evolution from the early palm reading texts as eReader is, and palm is from the last century too…).
It’s more than enough time for any business to thrive or die!
(If someone in the meddle is not torpedoing it, of course……………..)
Best regards,
