#8 I'm not well-known or popular, but I make about $20/month from Amazon for my science fiction. I would never be published by the "big houses", or possibly even Baen. Amazon is great for those of us who want to write, and want to see our stuff for sale. "Authors United" can go where it doesn't snow, and I don't mean Hawaii.
