This article was interesting, but it didn't present any particularly novel points of view. Yes, I know publishers provide services for authors, but it seemed as if the author repeated the same points over and over and completely glossed over the counter-arguments. He mentions the greater freedom that self-publishing allows, but then completely dismisses it and doesn't mention it again. For a persuasive piece, I thought it was weak. Personally, I would have rather had him interview a few people who were self-publishing and a few representatives for publishers and gotten both sides out there, rather than just the publisher's point of view.
