There's one big hiccup though with writers selling direct to readers - the delivery mechanism is painful. This is one area where Amazon has done things very well. Until we have a consistent, vendor-neutral system to deliver new content to eReaders that doesn't involve people having to side-load then selling Writer->reader directly is going turn off a lot of potential readers.
