IMO, I think the demand is there. It seems to me that our economic model just isn&#x27;t ready to handle how we distribute&#x2F;consume art. Once the art is created digitally, it basically costs $0 to reproduce it, yet we&#x27;re still stuck on the idea that a &quot;book&quot; costs ~$20 each, and a generous portion of that goes to the distributor.<p>IMO, we don&#x27;t even need distributors. I <i>should</i> be able to go to the author&#x27;s website on my kindle, and download the book for much less than $20. And all of that would go directly to the author, not the distributor.<p>(I know a lot of this reply has a lot of hand-waving and over-simplification, trying to keep it concise)
