The greatest threat to the publishing industry?
Publishing identical books by identical authors over and over and over and over. . .
Same reason I don't go to the movies anymore except for the newest Pixar release.
Gone are the days when publishers would publish a book because it was *good* even if they expected to lose money on it. 'The Lord of the Rings' would never have gotten published in today's environment. If it's not going to be a blockbuster, then the big publishers aren't interested anymore.
