The Reasons Why you wrote your book or books discussion

Ingram Content Group Inc. today announced the opening of Lightning Source Australia, its fifth globally networked print-on-demand facility.
The opening of Ingram’s Australia location broadens the reach of the publishers that work with Lightning Source to a comprehensive network of bookstores, libraries, and online retailers around the world. As an example of what it brings to the market, at launch, over 1.3 million titles from more than 400 worldwide publishers will be available to Australian consumers through leading book retailers and library suppliers, including TheNile.com.au, Emporium Books Online, Dennis Jones & Associates, ALS Library Services, James Bennett, and DA Information Services.
This is good news for independent authors. The Lightning Source plant will enable aurthors to take advantage of a market that was previously closed to them due to de facto shipping costs to Australia. It also is a positive step in countering an Australian government prediction this week that brick and mortar bookstores would cease to exist down under within five years.
