This blog post by Mark Coker, of Smashwords fame, is just too good not to repost. I love his macro take on what is happening and will happen in the publishing world. I don’t agree with every statement, but no one can disagree with the fact that Mark is a SUPERB source of info regarding self-publishing. He’s been on the front lines since 2007, which makes him THE elder statesman of the industry !
