The best book ever written has yet to be read.
Perhaps it is in the free section on Amazon.com? I've certainly found some interesting reads there and quite a few atrocious ones as well. Who is it that is not taking indie authors seriously? I don't think it's the literati? Forgive me but I did not read the Link in the OP if there was one. Is it Big Pub? Are they afraid of the indie author for generally giving their work away to anyone who wishes to read it?
