Yes, and I know that it's far more difficult than you might initially expect. I wasn't trying to portray the process as easy or trivial in terms of the effort required, my point was more about the fact that the barriers to entry are sufficiently low that you don't need millions (or hundreds of millions) of dollars, an entire team (or dozens of teams) of workers to handle different tasks, or even decades of work to make a top-tier book happen. You only really need the author themself [0], so there's little risk of there not being a wide variety of literature to choose from even if megacorporations decide to lock their offerings behind DRM-infested ecosystems.
