The book publishing business is a dinosaur, and Amazon is gonna kill it off. Within a few years, all fiction, except for best sellers from name authors..will all be downloadable through Kindle-like devices.., and if you want a hard copy, you'll be able to print it out.

This totally eliminates the need for printing, shipping, and storing books, as well as the bane of publishers..remainders.....few peopel don't realzie than any books not sold can be returned to the publisher...

You will see prices come down...resulting in MORE sales...and, yes, a greater revenue to writers..
