I wouldn't read a random book from any publisher--including Smashwords. The Best Seller list books represent the current taste of people buying books and whilst I don't care for Dan Brown, many of my favourite books this past year were published by divisions/ imprints of the big publishing houses. For example, Sandman Slim, by Richard Kadrey was published by EOS, the sci fi imprint of Harper Collins. Should I have passed it up (and missed a mighty fine read) because it was not published by Baen or Smashwords?
