QUOTE:The ebook world is driven by so-called genre fiction, categories such as horror or romance. It's not future classics that push digital sales, but more downmarket fare. No cliche is left unturned, no adjective underplayed. At the time of writing, the bestselling Amazon Kindle book was Asylum Harbor, by Traci Hohenstein. Crime sells. Try a sample, I dare you. In digital, dross rises...QUOTE.
I agree totally - from my (relatively short so far) experience of downloading free or "budget priced" e-stuff.
And ocassionally higher-priced stuff I've taken a gamble on.....
I don't think I'm "snobbish" ( how quaint !) in the way I understand it, and have nothing at all against "genres" - isn't all writing of a genre of some sort or another ?
I just find a huge amount of it badly and lazily written and thought out, the characters and plots - such as there are sometimes - formulaic and stereotypical, uninteresting and boringly predictable.
