On the money (have some karma).
I agree, with one small correction: the competition for consumer's eyeballs gets fiercer, as ebook reading devices have opened the doors not only to new releases, not only to backlists of the authors still out of the public domain, but also to electronic public libraries and massive electronic libraries of public domain work.
The convenience of almost instantaneous access to public and net (public domain) libraries makes it even more challenging to sell a new title.
