As one of those independent writers, of course I'm happy about the development of the digital book industry. I can't see the new marketplace hurting the great writers, but I wonder about the mediocre writers who nevertheless sell zillions of copies in tiny airport bookstores. There are some writers I've read only because there were so few choices and I knew that while uninspiring, their books wouldn't be bad, per se. But if I can preload my Kindle with a dozen books, I don't need those kinds of books anymore.
