I help run a small press, we publish books bundled with music albums. http://monofonuspress.com http://monofonuspress.com The single biggest problem we have is promotion. The music is easy by comparison, as bands play concerts all the time. Authors can't book more than a few readings to promote, placing books in stores is almost worthless when the author is unknown. The publishing industry will have to change quite a bit before the big players are replaced. Promotion and marketing along traditional media is locked up pretty tight, and online increasingly so. Remember that for every great book we're selling there are hundreds of books from crap to gold hyped by professional promoters with more money, connections and experience. It's rough out there.
