Receiving a form letter from a faceless person within a BPH does not inspire confidence in a budding author either. Rather the opposite, especially so if it was not the first form type rejection letter.
In reality the only opinions that matter are the readers of an authors work. If the ebook stinks or the editing is poor, then online reviews on page will most certainly reflect that.
The ability to read a nicely sized excerpt of the work assists in the decision to put out purchase money.
