"Amazon.com has taught readers that they do not need bookstores. Now it is encouraging writers to cast aside their publishers.
Amazon will publish 122 books this fall in an array of genres, in both physical and e-book form. It is a striking acceleration of the retailer’s fledging publishing program that will place Amazon squarely in competition with the New York houses that are also its most prominent suppliers."

Very interesting article. Amazon is indeed taking the role of publishers, critics and agents. However now with the self-publishing possibility, won't people even ignore Amazon to prefer open source online bookstore?...
