I have to disagree.
The fact that eBooks are fundamentally different from pBooks is so blindingly obvious that only a complete and total moron would think of them as the same.
I think that we can assume that publishers are not morons.
Therefore, they must want eBooks to fail.
eBooks cost almost nothing to produce. They can sell them at a far lower cost
and still make the same profit. I would argue that they would make a higher profit because they don't have to handle returns and they will never over "print" an eBook.
