Quite frankly, no I can't (though unless you only buy the works of authors that you've already determined you like, I refuse to believe you've never purchased a "clinker" from Baen. I know I sure have).
I'm not trying to convince anyone that they need to start regularly buying indies. I'm only suggesting that if a book (which is of a genre you enjoy) starts making waves in the areas of the internet you frequent (and has a premise that interests you), forget about how it was published and see if you like it. Then dislike it if it's bad and like it if it's good. At face value. Just like you would any other book.
