I am not willing to troll through the thousands of independent authors books to take a guess and hope that the book is good and that it was proof read. I have a feeling that I am not the only one out there. I might be missing out on some gems but the but the recommended ones I read where not what I want to spend my time reading.

Reading samples may cut down on the lower quality offerings. Annoying, I know. I also look at the author's bio. If the book's subject corresponds to their day job or previous career then I may take a look at it.
