But it's the same old story; more books, more books, more books, and at a faster rate than more buyers, which means each book sells fewer copies.
A good reason to keep pushing books on kids you know...
I suspect the niche markets will do very well with ebooks, once people get used to them (people meaning the general public.) This may slightly tighten the overall market, but I'm not a "niche reader all the time" so I won't be disappearing from the general mystery or fantasy or SF market anytime soon.
I trust traditional publishing to figure out a way for everyone to make money--they don't want to lose the biggest names to self-publishing or small press. So they'll figure something out and make it work.
