The "era of abundance" may not have dawned for the public yet, but that's because the ebook industry hasn't provided them with decent searching tools, and the public has yet to learn to use what's out there (beyond going to Amazon, et al, and seeing what they push at the entry page).

There are good indie writers out there. I think we agree that they remain mostly undiscovered. Also too this discussion of " good books" seems to to define " good books" only in terms of fiction. Good non fiction seems as scarce as ever.
