Here is an interesting article from Businessweek. They do a great job of posting views from the publishers side. What I like is they cover many of the commonly mentioned publishers but also mention ORiely and their efforts.
Anti-Kindle folks might find this article interesting.... or those same folks might be hoping Kindle wins out.
One thing I really like about this article is they also compare the eBook industry to the music industry, but from the publishers side.
