OT: The state of the book publishing industry?...

[Atrocities]

You know, I haven't read a book in a good long time. Something about even trying to read on now just seem unsettling to me.

thank god there still exists some small publishers (like Baen) that sell in the internet so us die-hard SF readers can still get the less know SF/Fantasy books...

but for the "casual reader" the market not only shrinked, but disappeared completely...

...Maybe the poor quality of many of the new releases?
