Ah, ok, well thanks then. (Karma) Maybe in my next life, I'll have an even bigger library!
People will talk about what they want to talk about. It's not a bad thing and my original post was kind of open ended.
Based on how the music industry has gone to mostly subscription based services and tours rather than album sales, one can speculate that the book industry may eventually go in that direction. On the other hand, specific authors want to maximize their income in other manners, that's why I find the patreon approach interesting. I use patreon to support a few podcasters that I like. In the on going conversations about copyright, we discuss how authors get paid and this may be one way. Rather than depend on a few very wealthy individuals as patrons, it gets crowd sourced via platforms like patreon.
