Not terribly surprising. Amazon's KU goes after the same type of reader that the indie go after, i.e. the reader who is less interested in specific authors or specific books and more interested in a more generic "stuff to read". I'm also willing to wager that we won't see authors with the major publishers having the same problem simply because 1) ebooks are still a small portion of the overall revenue stream for them and 2) their readers tend to be more focused on the specific author. No stats to back those theories, but then again, few people have any real accurate stats for the over all publishing and ebook market. They are very hard to come by. It's mostly individual authors reporting and estimates.
