No one really knows what it ultimately means. It was a 2-book deal, so if Eisler doesn't make the $250,000 he would have gotten in a year, will he raise the price? And no matter how you cut it, today's book market is still 80% print sales, not 80% ebooks. By going the Konrath route (and remember that Konrath was a midlist author without any giant successes in the print world and now an evagelist for people to join his path), Eisler will be cutting out that 80% of the market.
Eisler may well be happy about the move and may do better or worse. But it is a gamble.
