I agreed with most of what Shatzkin said, I just thought it was funny that one of his arguments could be taken that traditionally published authors should go indie. The hybrid approach would be the best option right now except the publishers are trying to lock authors into long term commitments including non compete clauses which kills that as an option. The publishers are forcing an either or decision and this new data is showing that a long term commitment to the traditional route is probably not wise. Something needs to change.
The points that Hugh is making are what I would expect the head of the Author's Guild to be taking.
