Well let's look at this logically, if no one wants to pay for books any more, what incentive does an author have to write (I'm leaving the ego out of the equation)? So if there is no new material around, you'll pretty soon get bored with what is.

Yes there is a lot of crap around, so maybe it's time for something new. How about next time you pay for a book and don't like it, you complain to wherever you bought it from. Don't expect to get your money back, but if enough people complain, maybe they'll take the book down. If you do this enough maybe the decent independent writers will get found.

I don’t expect for one moment that anyone will do it. After all there are so many books around right?
