No. But that was not the point of that post. The point was that drawing a line is useless, because there is no way to agree on where to draw it. Everyboy has a different opinion.

Seems to me like some of you are refusing to draw ANY line at all, making the designation of author meaningless.

For me, it is.
I go by blurb, reviews, Goodreads and Amazon ratings, and recommendations on this forum. I don't really care if the book was ever a hardcover or not, or if it's published traditionally or not, or if the author is a professional or not. I really don't care.
See book -> Read blurb -> If interesting, read reviews/ratings -> If many good reviews/ratings -> Buy book.
That's it.
