Author Tony Horwitz writes an interesting piece in the NYT about his foray into longform nonfiction ebooks, the Byliner implosion and the challenges of promoting online: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/06/20/opinion/i-was-a-digital-best-seller.html
This type of thing is sad - I had hopes for Byliner - but it's not all that different from the pre-digital era, I think it's important to note. Some freelancers have always had articles killed at the last minute, some publications have always gone under, and some book projects have always posted disappointing sales.
