Inevitable....
I think it is an inevitability. Traditional publishers are burdened by legacy costs - bookstores, paper, printers, editorial staff and so on, which drive up the costs of their product. Independent writers working on their own don't have to deal with any of that...of course the downside is that the quality off the product put out by the indies varies widely. Some of it is good, a lot of it is bad.
The market will shake itself out in the end, it always does. Right now we're in the wild west/frontier zone stage of the business. Soon enough a new paradigm will shift into place.
