In an otherwise uninteresting article about self-publishing, I came across this paragraph:
Publishing a book takes a year because everyone expects it to – not because it has to. Not surprisingly, Amazon is eyeing the self-publishing niche. The Web site has roughly 10% of the retail book market but nabbed 40% of Kessler’s sales. Big self-published books mean big market share.
Is this true? It’d be interesting to see what happens to POD if Amazon throws its hat in the ring.
