If that happened, perhaps publishers would wake up to the opportunity and start making it easier to access content and give them (a reasonable amount of) money for it. Here's hoping!
It is a great set of circumstances right now-Amazon can show which pricing model is most effective to both increase profits/move more ebooks. It will be interesting to see if the publishers learn from it.
