Agreed.
I also think the "ease of creating books" (as well as the web) result in a tremendously higher noise level which makes the good stuff harder to find and thus a much greater need for reliable sources of direction.
In short I don't think the ability to create ebooks will result in more Great Books (I suspect that will remain about the same) but it will result in more books.
