Mark Coker's 2013 Book Publishing Industry Predictions:

http://blog.smashwords.com/2012/12/mark-cokers-2013-book-publishing.html

"It’s that time of year when book people make their predictions for the year ahead. I bring you, my dear reader, my epic predictions for 2013.

I say "epic" tongue in cheek, because I went a bit overboard this year. When I sat down to write this, I was thinking of maybe eight or ten predictions with short narratives. I'm bringing you 21 predictions with expansive narratives. Skim the headlines then read what grabs you.

All of us in this business, from writers to readers and everyone in between, have a vision for where things are going."

And notice they talk about the Espresso Book Machine which I blogged about in September here.

Both of these blogs are well worth following.

Here's to a Happy, Healthy and Successful 2013.
