I am not sure if ebooks matters yet, but if they become more widespread, publishers will need to adapt to customers willingness. My guess is that you can charge a high price when a book is new and a lower price when it is not. Publishers seems to live in yesterdays world. Those who are able to adapt will survive, the rest will die.

Unless they are "Too big to fail", then we are stuck with them.
Actually I think it might be that some bureaucrat or politician well decide
they can convince the public that some publishers are "Too Important to
fail" and must be propped up by the Government/State. ( Can you say
N.Y. Times? Or the "Fairness Doctrine") Not a good thing, IMHO
