I agree, except with the state everything is in, they might not be able to even buy a small scale ebook publisher, or at least they might not get the OK to. I can only hope though that small publishing houses will take the industry back where it needs to be- smaller advances (with bigger percentages), Print on Demand and more of a focus on ebooks. I doubt the big houses that aren't listening now will take notice until it is too late.
