There are some things that I'm pretty sure of.
1. There is no reported shortage of authors. Just the opposite in fact, the publishing sites are madcap full of people who'd like a chance to sell me a book. So if I don't matter to the likes of whatever the big name author of the day is, that's fine because chances are pretty good that I'll find another one.
2. I as a singular person probably don't matter to MacMillan or the other big names. I as a marketing trend however, matter greatly. It is hard to find one single article or anything put out over the past two year in regards to the Publishing Industry that does not talk about the extreme growth of digital publishing and what it is doing to them.
3. I love to buy books in the $5 to $10 range. There is a burgeoning number of Publishing houses and retailers in the eBook business who love to sell me books in the $5 to $10 range, and they claim to be making a nice profit from it too.
4. So enjoy your expensive books and give yourself a pat on the back for your support of the art. I'll just be over here with my Kindle reading my books.
