E-publisher MightyWords sent notices to the 5000 authors whose work it carries. Half of them are to be kicked off the site and the other half will have their royalties reduced. “MightyWords’ decision fits neatly in the trend of downsizing dot-coms. In other words, e-business stinks as usual. But it’s significant in the world of bookselling, where self-published authors are getting a wake-up call. If they didn’t realize it already, they’re largely out there on their own.” – Wired
