I think we'll see a lot of fluidity between authoring, publishing, and bookselling in the next two decades. AMAZON looks like it wants to be a vertically integrated company purveying written content directly from the author to the consumer. It probably won't be the last.
Apparenty the Bookish web site is only available to "publisher insiders" right now... but from the looks of it, it's a cloud service for use on web browsers. No thanks!!!! Major Fail.
