Ironically, in their present economic condition, ebooks (non-Amazon/non-DRM) could have the opposite effect on their business - relatively low overhead to either format their existing files or partner with Fictionwise for a small fee - and market them outside of Amazon. No physical location required. They already have an online store in place. Win/win.

Publishers need to stop equating ebooks with Amazon.
