No Doubt! The large publishing houses are in a tizzy over E-books and PODs (print on demand) Self Publishers! Lots of money is starting to go directly to the authors who are self publishing e-books!
When one considers that Publishers are just glorified distributors and e-books can be distributed to millions of people with the click of a mouse, then you can understand why the big New York Publishers are not at all excited about the prospect of e-books becoming popular!
