If such a small publisher can do it so well then any arguments by the big boys are just dinosaurs roaring at the approaching comet!
Actually, I think an even better example might be Smashwords... and the best of all would be the PG, Manybooks.net and Feedbooks sites that support many different formats and yet give away their books, relying on charity to keep running. I suspect that none of those sites has what one might call an extremely powerful data farm and yet I believe I read that P.G. has about 100,000 books downloaded every month.
