I'm currently published through a NY publisher, but I'm currently self-publishing my backlist with Kindle and Smashwords. I tested the water with a couple of out of print titles, but I'm also looking to publish some ebook exclusives for some works that don't meet traditional publishing's needs when it comes to word length, etc.

Personally, I see ebooks as another branch of publishing endeavors, but the technology has made it easy for me to control this aspect myself without the need of a 3rd party.
