Actually I think that 3000 niche publishers would _help_ people find books that they may like. Ever try to browse through amazon's books by publishing date order? I would like to scan through just the books in a genre since the last time I visited. Instead I have to wade through page after page after page of drek put in by people gaming the Amazon system, usually porn or PD books for a buck. If I could get a feed from Baen, Tor and whomever else might be publishing SF/F or even just visit the web pages every so often to see what is new, then I would probably buy a lot more books.
