MORE ON CYBERSHAMING IN THE SCIENCE FICTION COMMUNITY, with some interesting discussion in the comments. Note this one in particular, on the growth of electronically published SF outside the largely-stagnant mainstream SF publishers. Or, perhaps even more significant, this from an author: “It’s a pretty damned exhilarating experience, publishing as an indie. I got an email from Amazon just last week, my first royalties check will be in the bank this coming week. Published in April, check in July. Traditional publishing can’t come close to beating this.” The royalties come a lot slower, that’s for sure.

People are also praising Jay Allan’s Crimson Worlds books there, but I haven’t read them. Just ordered one, though.
