You hear a lot of talk in the publishing world these days about indie published ebooks. Some think they're nothing short of the salvation of western civilization because they allow authors to connect directly to readers. Others, to a large extent publishers, editors, and agents, insist that indie publishing will bury us all under a tsunami of crap. And of course you every possible position in between those two extremes.
A couple of days ago, Passive Guy at The Passive Voice, posted something about a publisher reporting ebook sales. In the comments section, Mick Griggs included a link to this essay. (Thanks, PG and Mick.)
Mark Williams, the author of that essay insists, quite convincingly, that instead of a tsunami of crap, we're starting to see a tsunami of excellence. If you have an ereader, are thinking about buying an ereader, or even interested in what effect ereaders and epublishing will have on your future book buying, you should check that essay out.
I decided to do a little commentary myself, based on some things I've posted lately over at Adventures Fantastic.
