I agree with you that some self-published books are produced to a professional standard, but most, alas, are not.

I definitely agree many self-pub (particularly ebooks) suck big time!
I also agree with the new-found ability to self-publish there is interest in this topic.
I never said there was any kind of conspiracy (I think you are reading that into it yourself.
) but I do think this is an attempt at defending the status quo, as any business under attack would likely do.
