I think the byline on this NPR piece, linked to below, is not very informative. It is not a matter that the Story’s Not That Simple. It is that the story is not the story.

Digital books, and self-publishing, (which is my bailiwick) for that matter, give more people more opportunity, for the writer, the reader, and the savvy traditional publisher.
