Sure. For the purposes of that discussion I define a writer as someone whose income is primarily earned by writing. (Mine is entirely earned by writing.)

It's true e-books can be written and published by anyone, but I'm not concerned about that. The world has always rewarded writers who skillfully fulfill audience interests, and punished writers who only try to please themselves (and often don't even do that). Similarly, writers who understand and leverage basic principles of marketing do better; writers who can't be bothered, and falsely equate marketing with advertising, do worse.

I expect all of that will continue however many wannabes e-publish.
