Then I wish you would start posting reviews or start a blog or something, as there is a real dearth of places to get honest reviews. People either only post about a good one (and never about the bad ones) or they are shilling for one specific author or book, or it is something like Nick's blog where he posts about indie books but none of them have been read or vetted by him and anyone who submits a press release gets their book put up.
I have a ton of Fictionwise crapola I purchased in the days of milking the micropay system that I regret now because I am about halfway through the pile and most of them are very mediocre. They never allowed reviews (OR samples) so I bought based on description and was often disappointed. Smashwords lets one sample, at least (most of the time). But there is just SO MUCH out there that it's hard to know where to start.
If you truly have read a lot of these books, you would be doing a real community service if you could review them, both the good ones and the bad ones.
