We generally call this sacrificing long term viability for short term gain. Just as I have been bringing friends, family, and the young folks my sone hangs around to electronic books, I am also bringing them to indy and small publisher authors more in line with their budget. Even in the highly unlikely event that there still is a New York Times when they are grown these kids won't give a damn about its booklist.
