Who needs a publisher? Bob Young, CEO of print-on-demand service Lulu.com, says that the publishing and【1】of books online will not be the old book industry on a new【2】. It will be a new industry,【3】not on bestsellers but on niche【4】. Maybe Grisham isn’t a Lulu customer【5】, but writer John Edgar Wideman is. Wideman’s latest【6】of short stories, Briefs, came out from Lulu this spring. In a traditional paperback publishing【7】, the author keeps a mere 8 to 9 percent of【8】. Under most self-publishing agreements, authors keep 70 to 80 percent of their profits,【9】the remaining cut going to their distributor. "It’sa(n)【10】playing field for the first time," says J. A. Konrath, a thriller author who plans to【11】all his future novels as self-published Kindle books. "The【12】have become who they should have been【13】: the readers. "
Konrath began self-publishing e-books in April 2009. He quickly realized that by【14】the middleman, he was making as much money on a single $ 2. 99 e-book【15】he would on a $ 25 hardcover. "I started to be able to pay my【16】on e-book money, then pay my bills on e-book money," Konrath says.

"Wouldn’t you rather have eight hours of【20】from a book?"
