I wonder how many authors are in your position, holding the e-book rights to their work, interested in using them, but lacking any clear way to sell them? It's interesting that e-reads has a production backlog at the moment -- I've bought a few e-books published through them and found the production sufficiently minimal that I assumed they were purely a conduit for getting texts from authors into bookstores. If enough authors
are in your position, I wonder if there might be demand for a website which let authors sell e-books more-or-less directly to readers? If readers find the e-books sold by e.g. e-reads sufficient then probably most of the book production process could be entirely automated.
