I don’t think publishers are “anti-publishing.” I do think, however, that publishers have conflated format with content. Publishers have forgotten that they are in the business of providing information, not in the business of producing books and journals and newspapers (or “e-versions” of the same), which are merely mediums. Few publishers (Bloomburg comes to mind as the best example) have been willing to rethink information creation and delivery from the ground up. Which is to say, publishers are not anti-publishing, most just have yet to realize that they are not in the publishing business–they are in the information business.
