Recent data seem to show that, for the publishers, the growth in the retail ebook market has slowed down or stopped (at least for the moment), while Amazon's ebook sales apparently continue to grow. The share of the market controlled by the publishing establishment - the Big Five publishers and others - is starting to be slowly eroded. This does not yet suggest that an author's best bet is to go out on his/her own and we may be a very long way from that. But it does suggest that life may get increasingly difficult for publishers.
