I can't say I really disagree with the idea that there is a lot of crap out there with self-published books. But haven't you ever been burned at a bookstore? I think a lot of the traditional gatekeepers have abandoned their posts and allowed plenty of crap to make it's way to bookstore shelves. In fact, I think it's one of the reasons why book sales are down and why cheap self-published e-books are actually changing the game.

My question to those who have been so disappointed with e-books is this: Were you able to sample? Didn't that give you some idea what you were in for?

Also: What alternatives to reader comments (which you know may not be reliable) have you looked into?
