Depending on your definition of "indie," I may read only indie books. I don't read anything by the Big 6 publishers anymore, because I strongly prefer ebooks to pbooks, and I won't deal with DRM. I do buy from small publishers (Samhain, Circlet Press, Hard Shell), but I buy more from self-published authors.

I love what's available at Smashwords; I despair of being able to find what I like there.

There's definitely a growing need for indie book recs & reviews.
