I'm not even a writer and I don't think tradittional publishing is dying. I feel it will always be here.
I do want a Kindle, but I still love paperbacks. I want a Kindle because of lack of shelf space and room space. I read a few books at a time and I'm always in the mood for something different. With a Kindle I won't have to lug 2-3 books if I get in the mood for something different. It's more of a convenience thing for me.
Maybe one day I will be a full-time writer. Maybe I'll be a bestseller and go crazy and make a fool of myself on Twitter on a daily basis. We can but hope. In the mean time, I'm writing what I love to write. I have an agent who either believes in my work or is crazy herself (far be it from me to judge which). I have two books out there that are getting great reviews from people I respect. And that's enough to keep me on my chosen path and stop listening to all those depressing, distracting, and often bitchy arguments going on between the indies and the traditionals.
Good for you! :)
And you know what? That's my choice. If your choice is another route, then go for it with everything you've got. There's no right or wrong here. There's only what's right for you.
