Bad books are easier to put out. I read a books review last week were it was mentioned that the author will typically do something like 50 revisions on a piece of prose before it's ready to go. I don't know that all successful authors revise that much, but there is a reason that most only put out anywhere from a couple a books a year to a book every couple of years.

Just as a note, music has gotten a lot easier to put out. It's relatively inexpensive to build your own sound studio these days. Making money from that music is the issue. For a while, people were talking about the new music revolution putting the record studios out of business, but that hasn't happened.
