Same for me, my TBR list doubled or "worse" since I discovered MR...And there's tons of other forum and blogs.
Authors don't have to worry, it's the actual business model that is outdated. The so called "big 5" seem to try to keep it going by trying to scare us as if they were necessary to the system of book publishing, but they are not.
The system is not going to disapear if they do, the alternative already exist somewhere on the net. I believe the future will clear itself.
I hope I'm not overly optimistic though...
