Guessing he's not counting kindle publishing here, but regardless I'd love to know all the little details of why publishing e-books are so difficult

Yes, you are. You just tell yourself that you are not.
And yes, you can write a book. Whether it gets published or not is another story.
I don't understand why someone whose job it is to find the next best selling novel would write a post like this. It reeks of something a literary-agent/failed writer in Brooklyn would say...

Yes, you can write down a thought. Whether that gets to be a sentence or not is another story.
Yes, you can write out an idea. Whether that gets to be a page or not is another story.
Yes, you can write out a book. Whether that gets published or not is another story.
Yes, you can self publish a book. Whether that gets people to care or not is another story.
Yes, you can spread your ideas to others. Whether that lasts or not is another story.
Yes, you can live on through your words. Whether that's going to be good or bad on your name is another story.
But through it all, all that matters is what you choose to self identify as. Whether you survive, benefit, or take over the industry built up before you or by others, is another story.
