I hope these companies take off. There are a lot of great authors whose older books are out of print or who are no longer published. This would be one way for those books to come back into print. (I also like it when companies like e-Reads bringing them back into print -- that would be a good alternative for authors who don't want the risk or trouble of starting a corporation.)

And maybe like Vinge, more authors will produce heavily annotated e-books, like the annotated edition of A Fire Upon the Deep. That would be sooo coool.
Like having a commentary track on a book.
