The ratio of books I download from Smashwords vs that which I actually consider a keeper is really no different, I am starting to find.

My problem is that I just can't read books that have poor grammar, punctuation and spelling, and sadly in the few independently-published books I've tried reading, those things have been all too common. No matter how good a story-teller the author is, for me, he or she needs to get those things right. Perhaps that's a failing on my part, and I'm being too picky, but I can't help it.
