New publishers will arise or some of the existing ones will change and they will rule the new landscape.

Nah, "ruling the landscape" "dominating the economy" That's old school, we are interested in direct connections between author and reader as foretold in the prophecies. No one will dominate because there will be nothing to be dominated. This cycle might end up bombing out on us and ending up in the garbage bin of history like so many others, but I think we got a real shot at sending ourselves into the stratosphere. All thanks to an explosion of awareness brought about by ubiquitous reading devices and unlimited reading material. And publishers are worried about a few dollars and cents!! RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!
