Mark, I've seen you speak on this subject as well - and as much as I'm torn about the long-term ramifications for independent presses, I believe you're spot-on accurate in your advice to authors. I'm not sure there's room enough at the table for all to share in the digital feast, but it's good to know that innovators such as yourself are keeping Amazon and other conglomerates on their toes. As you may note from this blog post (http://atticusbooksonline.com/a-death-wish-to-old-style-capitalism), I have been reticently approaching the new publishing paradigm with a "slowly proceed with caution" mentality. It now appears that I may need to kick it into high gear if I want to stay the course.
