Looking forward to reading the fine print.

Although self-published authors should be wary of hitching their wagons exclusively to Amazon’s star, I am sure the latter will offer plenty of incentives for them to do so, many of them will accept the offer, and we will be that much closer to the demise of traditional publishers (a pity) and of public libraries (a tragedy).

Put James Patterson Factory in a plain brown wrapper and see how it fares in the real world.
