Just given to a reporter--
That said, I would recommend self-publishing or publishing under your own imprint (own press logo) especially for authors such as former political prisoners in Burma--this is like an open, low cost (comparative) and widely disseminated electronic publishing and you also get 35-70% of the list price. Besides, more people read and buy books on Kindle and other electronic devices these days than in the print form.
In short, brick and mortar book stores are on the way out, already out, as see closure of Borders.
50 Shades of Grey was self-published, and many others, including a friend, who is on the NYTs bestseller list.
Electronic publishing has changed the face of the 21st century book and multimedia publishing industry.
