I admit I have a hard time comparing "styles" of writing. I have an entirely separate calibre library called "Smashwords Freebies", and from time to time I open them and then instantly delete the ones I know I am never actually going to get to.

There are things I do and don't like about smashwords. The idea that you don't have to have your book "approved" by any head honchos before you can get it out there is a good thing, but it also can mean that I see these 500 word "books" where the description is almost as long as the book. I tend to filter for the 20K words and up.

I do like the fact that an indie author can charge a reasonable price for their books because they don't have a massive staff to pay and provide medical benefits for.
