Actually, I just ran into a rather nice quote today from Maya Reynolds over at Teleread:

Quote:
I actually find it ironic that the printing press–the invention that democratized reading–is being pushed aside by a new technology that will democratize publishing. Digital files plus print-on-demand technology (not to mention e-books) will end the hegemony of the Big Six publishers by making it possible for anyone to become a publisher.
eBooks are now mainstream, despite all the efforts of the Price-Fix Five.
Now, it gets *really* interesting; blood will flow.
