With genre books, there is a bigger factor.
There are a lot of readers who like specific story types, general plotlines and settings.
They will choose a mediocre to fair book with a slightly different take on their criteria over a great or fantastic book that is just vaguely in their genre.
The flood of available authors means they may never be forced to read anything else of neccessity. "
