Not much you can do about people who are okay with cheap and bad. I think we're in for some inventive marketing experiments until the market figures out a few methods that are reasonable effective... because you're right, it's a new market, requiring new tricks to sell. I think it will be a combination of marketing and searching that does the trick, but I'm most interested in what form the individual book marketing will take.
