My problem with not being able to post about self-published books is that the VAST amount of the books that are marketed and featured on Amazon(where I do 100% of my ebook shopping) are self published. While I agree that they may be of variable quality, under the rules for this thread, I can't share a link to a book featured on the kindle daily deal today. I've started reading "A Nameless Dwarf' and its really great. I want to recommend it here but its also published by Homunculus Books which is clear is the authors publishing co. So I guess I can't share it, but I think that's a shame since, like I mentioned, I'm enjoying it and it currently has a sales ranking of #45 which should mean that it is legit to a certain extent. Should there be a separate thread for Sci/Fantasy that is exclusively self published? I for one love discovering authors I have not heard of and am more far apt to take a risk an author when there books are on sale. I have discovered a number of books from this thread that are in fact self published and probably should not have been posted here based on the rules. Just my 2 cents.
