I didn't know that academia was already bypassing traditional publication systems, but I am all for it. For literature, seeing how in many cases publishers are more into gatekeeping what is published than doing quality control or improving it I am very happy when authors become independent and do everything on their own. As you said, next years are going to be interesting in this sense. Let's just hope that Amazon doesn't take over the whole system, as it is already trying to do.
