Responding to publishers 'fears, CHT's Chen Chang-rong says, "The e-publishing industry chain requires that publishers continue to be profitable and have a future. We need publishers to choose good books for Hami. They needn't worry that their role will be eliminated." CHT currently has no plans to negotiate directly with authors.
面對傳統出版業者的惶急，中華電信協理陳長榮表示，「電子書產業鏈必須讓出版社有利可圖並看到遠景，我們需要出版社為 Hami 書城精選好書，出版社無須擔心自己的角色被取代，」目前中華電信不考慮與作者直接洽談。
