This is a key comment. It was appalling how many midlist authors were cancelled after 9/11 because all the NY houses went after the easy money and only released top 40 bestsellers. Some of the titles were already in galleys just waiting final approval before being printed. I'm not sure whether some will never see the light of day because of editorial copyright abuse but there's a few. Some authors were so disgusted they left the field totally.
Epublishing can be a godsend for both the writer and audience as long as the copyright stays in the right hands.
