Certainly, a sale is a sale, whether it's digital or physical. As long as publishers can be secure in the knowledge that they'll make as much net revenue off a digital sale as off a physical one then there's no reason for them to fear ebooks. This is why I don't think Amazon's bullying tactics are doing anything to help the medium-term growth of the ebook market.
Ebooks may make it easier to purchase and manage books, but at the end of the day I only have so many hours to indulge in reading, and doing it digitally doesn't mean I'll be reading significantly more.
