Must be careful with someone like that, though. If the costs of publishing decrease, the costs of the book may decrease as well. Sounds good, until one realizes that the payoff for the author will go down as well. o.o 

And if nothing else, the difficulty of the publishing industry at current does help make sure that fewer stories lacking merit get published. *nods*

I hadn't thought about the digital books thingy, but in a sense, wouldn't that basically just be a laptop computer type setup?
