Aside from pricing and DRM what other factors are within the publishers ability to control which would affect ebook sales.
I'd also point out piracy of ebooks, with or without DRM, is likely a factor in the declining sales.
The costs of ebook versus pbook have been debated before and while ultimately pbooks are more expensive the difference is less than what many tend to think. Up until printing and shipping the costs are, essentially identical. Thanks to bulk rates printing costs are kept lower than what the general public would spend. And shipping costs are often offloaded to whatever seller is procuring the books for sale.
So how would publishers better adapt to ebooks?
