This is true, Harry, yet by not giving them a try, you miss out on some real gems. It's like panning for gold -- if you don't pan you'll never find the gold.
If you want to read some excellent, well-written ebooks, try the ebooks by Shayne Parkinson, available at Smashwords. I don't know if she used a professional editor, but her books are worth a lot more than she is charging. And there are other Smashwords authors whose books are gold nuggets. Another that comes to mind is Vicki Tyley.
But in general, Harry, you are right. You have to go through a lot of waste to find the gold nuggets.
