Hi Kali Yuga,
Your title, Professional Contrarian, is extremely apt.

Please don't think I'm starting a real business. This is a hypothetical exercise. I'm not swayed by your confidence and dismissals. But you broached an interesting twist.

I went looking for a bar graph or chart of annual book sales vs publisher but couldn't find one. It would be interesting to see if the tail is as long on that graph as you suggest.

And yes, some totally unexplored aspect of ebooks could give excellent traction, and that would be an effect. And since ebook sales are so new, I'm sure there are some of those to be found.
