I would assume, for that price, that it was also proofed and edited in a reasonably professional manner. Its not so much that I'm cheap, though I am, its just that there are already enough, good and well-established authors out there to last me a lifetime. Or ten. Life is too short to waste time reading nine crap novels to find the tenth one that is worth it.
I often read nine novels issued by the big publishers that turn out to be crap. Big names are just as capable of writing crap as indies. I tossed aside novels by Niven, Kleypas, Coulter, Weber, Nora Roberts, and other popular writers last year.
