If you mean "no more publishers," then keep in mind that it will be Amazon which will end up dictating terms to the authors -- including, I'm sure, the right to lower a self-publishing author's price at will.
"No publishers" also means no advances, no free editing services, no industry connections, no free marketing....

I think a lot of folks here don't understand that one of the major services a publisher performs for an author is that they " share the risk" of a start up business. When a publisher advances money and provides editing, proofreading, cover art, and marketing services to a new author, the publisher is betting on an unproven product- being a venture capitalist as it where. An indie author has to do all of that themselves-often while working a day job. Not surprisingly, authors want someone to share risk and invest in them, especially when the project requires, say, investigating the history of a long-forgotten racehorse named Seabiscuit.
Random House bet big that there would be a market for that sort of story- and won. Of course, they also bet a lot and lost a lot. Their big win on Seabiscuit covered those losses. Is Amazon-or a publisher beaten down to thin margins like Amazon- likely to make those kind of bets? Or will they just go for another spicy fangfest? Well, we are abouto find out
