From Library Link of the day came this piece about the changes happening in digital publishing vs traditional publishing :
'Vanity' Press Goes Digital by Geoffrey A. Fowler and Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg in Wall Street Journal, Media and Marketing, June 3 2010
"... digital self-publishing is creating a powerful new niche in books that's threatening the traditional industry. Once derided as "vanity" titles by the publishing establishment, self-published books suddenly are able to thrive by circumventing the establishment. "
The article has a useful sidebar describing the "stars" of self-publishing : Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Lulu, Smashwords, FastPencil, Scribd, and Author Solutions.
