They weren't. Kelly Link's short collection was published by a boutique outfit, a small press, not a traditiona Big-12l publishing house, same for Rosenblum. The publisher is small beer press http://smallbeerpress.com/.

You're using selective quotes and being highly disengeniuos. Here is what I originally said:

So far this year, through Feedbooks alone, I've been introduced to:

Kelly Link, Benjamin Rosenblum, Small Stories, Nick Name, Moxie Mezcal (brand new find, only today). The traditional publishing industry has very little to offer me that I can't find with the independents or what some would so derisively call "self-published".
Nowhere did I say that Kelly Link or Benjamin Rosenblum were 'independent' authors. In fact I made no such statement, even though the downloads I gained from Feedbooks were published in their pbook formats by indie publishers.
