I like free as much as the next person but when it comes to fiction I'm willing to pay to have some sort of quality control. Though if it's free then I can't complain about typos.

As I was reading this thread I was visualizing the publishing industry turning into another fanfiction.net...Sure there are some gems but who has time to find them?

I don't see the pay model going away anytime soon because people like me are willing to pay for quality non DRM ebooks. I think the key for the publishers and ebook sellers is to make their content easier to use/access, and provide better quality than what's free out there. Shouldn't be hard if they have the original digital copies of the novels they are buying...
