The role of publishers will spread out to independent editors and graphic designers, and the occasional PR firm. Blockbusters will be blockbusters--the business has been moving that way anyway since the demise of the mass market paperback as a popular format. They used to aim for 100,000 in sales and now they are lucky to get 10,000. It's easier for a publisher to sell millions of copies of a small handful of titles.
