Maybe.
Or maybe if the publishers actively *marketted* the midlist, they might be willing to go a bit deeper into the Ingram and B&T catalogs than they do today.
The backlist is headed for online, no two ways about that, but nothing stops the general merchandisers from stocking a broader range of new releases, even if us for a few weeks instead of the three month runs they get in bookstores. They just need to be "persuaded" the same way they are "persuaded" to carry the annointed bestsellers-to-be.
