Me too! We're getting to a stage when self-publishing is, on average, more lucrative than traditional publishing with regard to income. Of course, there is still a cachet to being traditionally published that doesn't exist with self-publishing to the same extent, and that can lead to other opportunities. But the argument on earnings does appear to have been lost by trad publishing.
Yay more bookshops!
That factoid about self-published authors surprised me, in a good way.
