    I can't decide whether I'm going to be happy I can get books & the like for insanely discounted prices (yay books I can read because I *want* to), or feel like I'm looting a corpse when I go to my local Borders next to help lighten the load. Anyone else feeling a little conflicted?

While four years seems like a long time in our fast-paced world, self-publishing still hasn't reached the mass audience. Even the biggest social media gurus still take the traditional route, only choosing to self-publish when they've been rejected by mainstream publishing houses.
