The SF Signal has a really good collection of ideas on the subject of How Have Online Book Reviews Affected the Publishing World?My two cents: It is great.
Right now, I'm reading The World is Flat and Thomas Friedman would say, that this is another way that the playing field is being leveled. I mean, I was just contacted by a small publisher and asked to write a review for them of an upcoming YA novel. Cool! Of course I said yes! I got the title in mail today.
It is my job-dream to become a full-time book publicist. However, in today's market that will most likely never happen. So, I will do it for free (or well, I will do it for free books).
So, How Have Online Book Reviews Affected the Publishing World? Well, for me, it means that I can participate in book culture and have my dream-job as a part-time hobby.
