I buy fiction (from new/unfamiliar authors) based pretty-much on recommendation and/or word-of-mouth/conversation alone. Which allows me the opportunity to ignore how a book may have been published, for the most part. Strangely enough; this is how I did things before the "New Market" emerged, too. So nothing has really changed very much for me. I'm in it to read "good" books, not good indie books or good cheap books (or good BPH books).

People talk about good books, and I try to listen. I don't really care about the rest.
