Exactly to the point: The shoddy and decidedly unprofessional quality of most of the ebooks being released by Big Pubs threatens a backlash against them, which would drive consumers into the hands of indies, and the discovery that "Hey... this stuff ain't bad."
If Big Pub doesn't act on their quality issues soon enough, the only things that will drive customers back to them will be ultra-low prices, ridiculous bargains and the most blatant of bread-and-circus content imaginable... IOW, a complete and total surrender of their superior, intellectual, authoritative image.
