Getting that confession out of you was like getting the ring away from Gollum. Your argument, such as it is, depends on it being quite difficult to find good books. Since you admit that you don't have any difficulty finding good books to read, your argument collapses.

No, I'm not sure why you think that would offend.

I didn't say it was offensive. Since you admit you don't have any difficulty finding good books to read, it does appear that you are offended by the mere existence of these books.

But I can see the e reader book sites going the way Twitter and Facebook have gone. Both are great if used as they were intended. But every one now thinks that they have something to tell the world.... I would guess that something over 70% of these sites are meaningless rubbish (if rubbish can be meaningless), but you know what I mean.
That is the way e book sites will become if Amazon and the like don't do something.

You can choose who you follow on Twitter, you can choose who you friend on Facebook. If you don't want to read the rubbish then don't subscribe! It's easy to avoid the rubbish. Why should it bother you if someone else subscribes to what you call "rubbish" on Twitter or Facebook?
They don't think it is rubbish, or they wouldn't have subscribed. What they read on Twitter or Facebook doesn't harm you, and neither does their reading self-published books.

Ok, I'm wrong. So you will be able to show that I am wrong and you are right; or is that just your viewpoint?

It has been clearly demonstrated that you're wrong. Your refusal to accept facts and reason doesn't change this.
