Is the Future Of E-Publishing Genre Fiction

Publishers sure think so!

A few thoughts:

  • I don’t think anonymity is part of this.  Maybe it’s me living in the Bay Area, but I’ve seen people reading some pretty “supposedly shameful” stuff.
  • I think the immediacy is an issue – as is the low price.
  • I also think this fits more of a consumer model for things that people want fast but aren’t worried about having a physical version of.
