It's not terribly difficult to find good books. If you need someone else to tell you what books are good, there are a number or sources that will offer you their opinion; pick one or two sources that you trust and read what they tell you.

People were dismissing genre fiction (even the stuff published by 'real' authors with hardcovers under their belts and everything!) long before ebooks and indies were around.

Popular fiction has always been popular, that's why they call it popular. It's often derided, and it is not uncommon for what was once lowbrow to be remembered as a classic while the formerly highbrow is forgotten.
