Yes, publishing is easier than ever. But there's more than just putting a book on amazon and becoming an instant best seller. It's work. Aside from the initial stuff like formatting, editing, and getting a great cover, you have to spend a lot of time promoting. That's the kicker. Assuming an ebook is the most pristinely edited piece of work, no one will find you unless you promote.
I think publishers have it better than ever. Now they can pick and choose from a group of people who bust their asses and have already made it to the top of some lists. Although, if given the choice, I don’t know if I would want to align with a publisher, or stick with self-publishing. I guess it would depend on what they would offer.
