Who's to know? But one thing, he prices his e-books accessibly - people are "willing to give him money" for good writing that they like. I've downloaded his free stuff before - not my long term cup of tea personally, but he knows how to write.

I got a kick out of this quote:

No other industry allows this. There are always continuing production costs and shipping costs. There are always middlemen who take cuts. There is always a limit to distribution. There are always times when something is sold out or unavailable.

Not anymore.

Imagine having instant access to every person's checking account in the world, and stealing one dollar.

Now imagine them willingly giving you that dollar.
People are *willing* to give him a "that dollar" because he is a popular writer who prices his books so everyone can afford them. This is the future.
