It could also be other genres catching up to romance and SF/fantasy.
Romance got a jumpstart because it is the largest commercial genre and a lot of authors had extensive reverted backlists and a lot of prolific Harlequin veterans were pumping content into a receptive market.
As the indie revolution moves on authors in other genres are catching on that the water is fine for diving in. Who goes indie and what they put out is going to evolve as more and more people become receptive to indie titles. Even litfic authors will catch on that there already is a market for them in indie-land.

There's room for everybody.
