Ummm...that might work if they were PAYING you to read it but I have seen some really awful $3 books out there <G>. The ebook market is young and facing growing pains, much as the world of news reporting on the net is facing.
Publishers serve one important function- filtering the crap out, usually. With self-published eooks, we need some sort of mechanism that does the same. Unfortunately, I have purchased a couple of book by independent authoors on ereader.com that were just awful.
I have delicate sensitivities, and can't read crap or I get an upset stomach <G>. Sad thing is, every "author" thinks their book is just wonderful, whether it rates a 0 or a 10 on the decency scale. Wish I had the answer on how to sort this market out....
