If I were a popular mainstream author right now, I would be cackling with GLEE. I'd have my reader base set, my old market still available to me, far greater share of the profits, and the ability to control my ebook product like never before. And I could turn all those old manuscripts that publishers rejected into ebooks and make some money off them, too! Party time or WHAT?
OK, so I'm sure it's not quite that easy for many, given multi-book contracts and the like. But still... talk about open possibilities...!!
