Nah, most of us are still talking to ourselves. I think connecting with readers (who aren't pushing their own books ) is tough) and even doing reviews involves self interest and the hope for return.
I like what Year 0 is doing because there's a real idea of connecting to readers. Stuff is happening with publishing for sure and right now e-books are wide open. Maybe I'm being too cynical and sites like this where you connect and sell your wares are the future. Who knows?
You probably read about the guy who sold like 4 grand worth on Kindle and got a contract, by now? What I do think is that nobody, including industry insiders, knows what's going to happen.
