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.
So now self-publishing means eBook only? He can sell his book in print through Creat Space, Lightning Source etc. Of course he'll be giving up any special promo a big pub might do to get him end cap space or a POS display and such.
