What I find is that almost all self-published ebooks highlight the important role of the editor as well as the publisher. The vast majority of self-published books should never have left the slush pile. I really don't have the time to read through hundreds of books in the hopes of finding one that makes the process worthwhile so I wait for someone whom I have some trust in to comment on the books they have read before I will even consider reading a book by an author unknown to me.
