Just about every author I know below the bestseller lists are chomping at the bit in excitement (and even some bestsellers who are putting up their old backlist).
The only people this new era will hurt are publishers, agents, and those who are unwilling to adapt to meet the changing tastes of their audience. (Well, it may hurt the "publishing industry ancillary businesses" that make money writing about the industry, consulting, or marketing). Not really a huge loss, because there are millions to replace them.
