Some authors can smell the coffee better than others and, as the survey says; some established authors are finding their hand-feeding to be less satisfying than it used to be. The grass on the far side of the gate looks tempting and with no gates in place anymore...

I'll bet a similar survey in 2016 (with ebooks "espected" to tally up 50% of publishing revenues) will have a very different flavor.
