Used to be when looking for books first sort was by books by BPHs (because that's all that were in bookstores), then I looked for authors/series I followed, then browsed genres I liked or looked for books on a specific topic I wanted.
In the future I can see not only searching by author and series but by specific editor instead of just BPH books. In the past no one paid any attention to who edited a book but in the future they might get a following like that of authors as they gain a reputation in their specific genres. They certainly can do the same job they do at the BPHs of weeding out dross as well as editing books. And certainly an author I like who went indie will still write books I like.
