But the Volcano hasn't gone away just because Howey didn't consider it in his report. Self published books still run the gamut from the excellent to the execrable. Good ones that get noticed get sales, others don't.
The garbage is still there, it hasn't gone away. It's very good to know that good books can escape the volcano in significant numbers, but that doesn't mean it's not there.
The best thing about today's self-publishing world is in fact that there is room for everything. Good, bad, experimental, anything a person writes can be published and potentially find an audience.
Yes, the good stuff's there, and in quantity, but the bad stuff is too. It just isn't selling.
