I admit, I know very little (actually, nothing) about the publishing business. But as an outsider looking in, it seems that the industry has been going through a decade long malaise. Am I wrong? What caused it? Increased publishing costs? Lack of interest? Competition from videogames? I'm curious for input from people with more inside knowledge than I have.
