On the contrary, there's nothing else that it relevant. Yes, you won't die from eating a meal that you don't like. That's the point. The consequence of reading an indie book is no different than that of listening to an indie band.

I never said there wasn't. But you seem to be confusing what potential readers in general want with what you want.

So it's less vain to self-publish because now the author doesn't pay a third party? Huh? Nowadays authors don't even have to have enough confidence in their own work to put their money where their mouth is.

Words have meaning. Self-publishing is not vanity publishing. Just because you want to take a shot at self-publishers doesn't mean that it is vanity publishing.
