The entire problem of trying to find "only the good books" is that most people end up reading only the most popular books. Therefore, the already well-known writers will become bigger and bigger, and therefore, "better".
By just relegating all indie publishers to the trash, one is potentially discounting some very, very good authors, who happen to write just outside the "box", or "formula" that publishers require a book to be in to be deemed marketable. If a book isn't in there, they won't publish it, but that is not a proof that the book is bad. It may just be (very) different, and maybe it's very good, just because of that.
