Since this is not a well-known author (I gather), he should be embracing the Amazon's, Smashwords, etc. of the world and not trying to bash them. How many unknown or Indie authors ever made it to shelves in bookstores, or even had their book published before this "internet thing" came along? If they were in the store at all, their books were way in the back in a corner, or on the top shelf where you really couldn't get to them anyway. At least with ebooks they have a chance. But, as someone pointed out above, it takes work. So instead of blaming others for their books not getting out there, get with the program and do a little self-promoting.
