I just do not get it why people in this thread seems to be happy with mediocre books. Why not try to read what you think are really good books?

I haven't read a mediocre book for a long time. All I can think of is people are just picking books at random without even looking at the cover, blurb or sample. Whoever the publisher is you're likely to be disappointed if that's how you choose what to read.
Self-publishing brought back all the type of books the corporations lost interest in decades ago. I don't see how that can be anything but good.
Also, self-publishers fix their mistakes when they are pointed out to them (with one famous exception, anyway). Corporation publishers never do that.
