Spending 8 hours reading a $15 book means I'm spending about $2 an hour for entertainment. I'm paid a lot more than $2/hr at work, I value my time at much more than $2/hr, and I don't have huge amounts of free time to read. I don't want to take on a part time job as a dreck-sifter.

How do you find new books/authors then? I'm sitting here in a library, every single book is trad published, and it would still take me much more than 30 minutes to find a good (according to me) book by an author I've never read before. Either researching online for something I might like or wandering about the stacks takes time.
