I can't believe I missed this earlier. Thank you for brightening my day and making my co-workers look at me funny. I'd be upset about the coffee I nearly choked on, but I'm too amused to care.

As far as I am concerned, that is one of the biggest benefits that has come from the invention of electronic books and their growing popularity. That authors who want to have complete control over their writing and how it is presented to their readers, now have that. You can publish your book just the way you want it to be, and put your own name on it.
Of course, as with everything else when it becomes so easy that anyone can do it, then the drawback is that anyone does. It's like a herd of pigs... the herd bring a lot of benefits, but you shouldn't wonder at all the crap it produces.
