Memo to publishers: Remind us why you exist again?

Interesting read about the last years of the old and dying system?

"Curation is no longer important. Readers are very capable of finding ebooks that interest them (the same way they can find YouTube videos, websites, and TV shows that interest them.) They no longer need to be told by a publisher, “This is worthy.” They can make that call on their own."

[JanStrnad]

I hadn't thought about that connection between finding what you want on the Internet, on YouTube, etc., and finding the ebooks you want. The younger generation is much better at this than the previous one!
