@fjtorres. Interesting. But is this access more theoritical than actual in the case of a self-published author, given the economic barriers. Book stores need to be convinced to stock your book. Printing and distribution needs to be arranged and paid for. Perhaps some promotion. Such costs come out of someone's pocket. If not the authors, an investor who will want their pound of flesh. Like, for instance, a publisher.
I agree totally with your comments on the promotional prowess of big publishers.
