I agree there are set up costs and I suspect the sticking point is that publishers haven't sorted out a production pipeline and are worried about piracy. However, creating ebooks in different formats is completely straightforward. Calibre does it pretty easily. In fact, they must have books already digitized and marked-up in order to go to press. It can't be so hard to write a perl script to convert that to ebook.
