I think you are wrongly attributing their current actions to malice when the reality is more likely to be a combination of a lack of a clear business imperative and a fair degree of ineptness.

The ebook market is growing rapidly, but it is still just a tiny part of the overall market and with financial conditions the way that they are a fair amount of businesses are going to take more of a short-term view even if it would be more sensible for them to do otherwise.
