As with other discussions about ebooks, there are two views. Yours appears to be evaluating as they're currently being treated by publishers. The other is the ebook industry as it should be, i.e. viewing ebooks as simply another venue and expending the same effort to assure quality production as in expended on HC, PB, and audio books.
Based on the way many publishers treat ebooks I've often wondered if they don't have a hidden agenda to kill the entire industry-but I can't figure out why they would hide it if that's the case. Sure, it'd cause a fuss if they said they wouldn't produce ebooks any more but what could be done about it? Producing poor-quality ebooks is already producing a fuss.
