Well, I've already read a fair chunk of what was published in that period, including the entire decade of the 50's for 3 of the top 4 US SF magazines of the decade.
People make time for what they want. Some want self-published books, others don't. Both choices are fine.
Personally, I've found that since I can easily read 2-3 books in a weekend, the major houses aren't publishing enough stuff in some subgenres to fill my needs. So I try self-published books instead.
It all depends on what you want.
