I agree. In addition to your point, once enough ereaders are in people's hands their won't be a need for publishers. With a little software you just publish it yourself -- getting people to read it, muchless pay you for it, is another question altogether. I imagine that in a few years publishers will be in the same straights as newspapers today. It'll be interesting to see who adapts to the changing market.
