Annoyed Librarian Gets Panties in Knot Over Self-Publishing
Passive Voice pointed out an article that seems to reek of a swelled head. Annoyed Librarian states that there are too many self-published book are out there. The good ones are lost in the crowd.
“… maybe that’s true now. If an eBook is published in the wilderness and nobody reads it, does it still count as a book?”
Some just will not give up the notion that eBooks are pretend books.
According to Annoyed Librarian, “…with almost 400,000 self-published books a year, the amount bought or preserved by libraries is going to be negligible. In the future, it will be like the vast majority of these books never existed.”
Do you think that too many self-published eBooks are out there and are about to be forgotten?
