Self-Published Title Hits No. 1 on Ebook Best-Seller List for First Time

Self-Published Title Hits No. 1 on Ebook Best-Seller List for First Time, article.

I think this is joyous and portentous news. It proves finally in hard numbers that while publishers may have their place, they are not a necessary ingredient to achieve not only success, but big success. In other words, their majority bite of the pie is optional, and their filtering mechanism, their judge function, is also optional.

I've read this and several of his other articles on publishing, but to my surprise I didn't take anything clear away. Did you have any particular interesting points in mind?
