I strongly agree about the over-dramatization. ebooks are probably irrelevant to the problems of publishing. The primary problem is lack of eyeballs. For example, we're discussing this on an on-line forum. As opposed to reading a book (p or e). So long as there is a glut of authors and a shortage of readers, everything else is small change.
One side effect is the loss of business for publishers, which leads to blockbusterism, and thence to publishers' foolish ideas about turning back the clock on the digital revolution single handedly.
