If the author's work 'clicks' with the reader, the reader then searches for his books on the commercial sites, just as he would at a bookstore rather than have to wait for the (one or few) copies of the newer books to be available for checking out.
O cry me a river! What a bunch of malarky! People routinely create new apps that go head-to-head with apps created by large corporations and routinely succeed. I note that my favorite word-processor creator (Atlantis) is still in business and still adding value-added-features to Atlantis - such as the ability to directly create ePub ebooks from within. And he does this on a $35-per-copy registration fee!

Derek, Atlantis sounds interesting to me. What platform does it work on? What input files does it read? And finally, do you have a link?
