re: the issues of sharing and reselling, both of these are going to become far less of an issue. With "mediocre" authors like Amanda Hocking (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/01/self-published-author-amada-hocking_n_829906.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/01/self-published-auth...) able to make millions by self publishing at a $3 price, we will see more established authors follow this route and eventually weaken he publishers to the point where they must relent on these issues. These are temporary pains cause by an industry being torn up by a technical innovation. If you look at Amazon's "Domino Project" (http://www.thedominoproject.com/books http://www.thedominoproject.com/books) you get a sense for what they imagine the future to be. Authors creating books to an audience built via social media rather than expensive retail promotion and being sold for $5ish dollars As for the other points, I agree with most of the commenters that these sound more like personal issues rather than technical problems.
