Power Has Shifted To The Author

[This is a must article and should be read with care.  Its failing is to 
assume one person's experience, however well informed, is true of the 
whole industry.  There is absolutely nothing new about self publishing, 
which goes back centuries, but the digital age gives far more 
opportunity.  The writer does show how the bureaucratic nature of big 
companies makes them far too inflexible when changes are taking place.]
