I had no idea that self publishing was now referred to as "indie publishing". I had thought self publishing was self publishing, and indie publishing was publishing was publishing with an independent (as opposed to conglomerate) publisher. I guess I'm still living in the last century ;-)
The term "indie" has been co-opted by some self-publishers who apparently didn't realize the term existed and was already being used to describe a different kind of publishing. I don't know why. Are they embarrassed to call themselves self-publishers? Self-publishing is self-publishing (whether in e or print), and indie publishing is indie publishing. The two are not the same thing.
I like what I've seen so far, too. Known agents are also submitting & selling to them from the deals I've read on PM.
I started noticing the Entangled announcements on PM last month and couldn't find much info on the web until now. I'm definitely curious to see what happens once these books reach the marketplace.
