Let's look at it a different way say a book sales for $20 that means the author might as much as $4.00 or more likely $1 measly buck. That means the author could sell directly to the public and double his money at $2. Sounds like a better deal to me for both the author and consumer.
Part of the problem is that people tend to 'feel' that books purchased from a publisher are less-likely to be poorly written. And it doesn't help that most people don't know where to find independently released ebooks. Heck. *I* don't know if there's a clearinghouse website that details new releases of indie-published stories. Might be nice to get one running if there isn't. Sort of a "you set up your marketing site for *your* ebooks and then we'll provide blurb-space and links from *our* site to your storefront" deal.
