Sadly, I think most people don't take these genre's seriously at all. but on this forum it seems like most readers read genre books.

In fact, if those two (three?) groups could get together on common ground to take to e-book publishers and reader makers, they could make up a pretty good-sized segment of the reading public. Respected or not, lots of readers is lots of readers, and nothing for a publisher to sneeze at.
It's just a shame we don't get to read stuff like Midshipman's Hope in English Lit instead of books written over 100 years ago.
