Yep. You're suggesting that the big publishers could digitise their entire back catalogue (of which they have rights, at least) for a relatively insignificant sum.
I don't believe this to be the case, or they would be doing it, or at least, be planning to do it, very quickly.
As if they could do it, it would be a no-brainer to do it. Since they're not doing it, there must be some reason why they're not doing it. Cost seems most likely, if not in the actual digitisation work (which would need to include proofing), perhaps in the legal aspects of finding out which books they have ebook rights to, and which they don't.
