I have read many indie books, especially since purchasing my Kindle last year. Access to unknown authors' books is
so much easier now! If the description is well written and the story is of interest to me, I'm willing to take a chance for a few dollars. I've discovered many wonderful books, written by very talented indie authors.
Since it is so easy to self-publish these days, many authors forego traditional publishers altogether. They don't even bother to submit their work to them. Unless you're a big-name writer, the larger publishers don't do much to promote your book anyway.
