I think it is possible that in the future that JIT publishers (like WordClay) who offer their services for a fee or take a piece of the sales are going to grow. Instead of the publisher contracting the writers, it will be the other way around. You can sell an electronic version of a book, and if it sells well, you can publish on paper for folks without readers (who remain the majority).
The biggest question will be how to choose what to read. Right now, I am reading what my favorite authors like.
