You shouldn't underestimate the value of that, though. It sounds as if you're doing everything in a thoroughly professional manner, but there are an awful lot of readers out there - myself included - who don't buy self-published books simply because the overwhelming majority of them are unmitigated crap. I buy my fantasy from publishers like Baen or Tor because I trust them to only publish decent books.
