I can listen to an indie band or listen to one that signed with a major record label. There's nothing wrong with either.
I can buy my doughnuts from a chain or an independent bakery. There's nothing wrong with either.

Well, it takes minutes to see if you like some music. For a book it takes hour often to see if the book was worth reading or not. So I really think there is a fundamental difference here.
