I admit, I'm not a writer (as much as I would love to be), so I can only give my opinions from a reader's point of view. I've been buying a lot of indie books lately, and I have to say that I love the variety offered. Especially with the less popular genres which would make it much harder to find in traditional bookstores. It is thanks to indie publishing that I've been opened to a much bigger variety of books, so much so that I'm pretty much spoilt for choice right now.
At the same time, the majority of my favourite books came from traditional publishing, and I still go to those from time to time, as long as there is title and description that sounds like something I want to read.
At the end of the day, I agree that it does not matter where the book comes from, as long as it is good, and enjoyable to read. And I do like the 99 cent price range; it makes me feel less guilty spending on books!
