I'm starting to see some reading comprehension problems here. As has been point out *numerous* times, If you don't want to deal with the *mess* of Amazon and Kobo, there are many ways to find "Good" books. New York Times Best Seller List, Awards list in every genre you can imagine, publications such as The New York Times Book Review. It's not a lot of work. Most of your *one book a month* readers probably select books just that way.

There will never be a vetting process for authors. It's impossible to define and it's not possible to satisfy the tastes of the millions of readers in the world.
