The business models between digital books and digital music are similar but the market potential is not the same. People have to stop basing the success of ebook readers on the success of the iPod. It's like basing the success of motorcycles on the market penetration of cars. There is a viable market for them but you're never going to get the same percentage of the population.
I do agree that the publishers aren't seeing the same urgency to react but it's just delaying it, not killing it.
