Oh, and one other factor in the "book dumping" issue -
Physical bookstores only have so much room. One reason traditional publishers want to slow writers down is because when the new book comes out, the booksellers clear the old books off the shelf and return them unsold. With physical bookstores, you actually do hurt your sales by coming out with new titles too often (unless you're James Patterson).
With Amazon, and other online retailers, that's not really a problem.
