There might be more books to choose from but I am finding it harder to find really good books in the genres I read (SF, Fantasy and crime).
I've been finding harder it and harder to find really good SF and Fantasy books for close to 40 years now. In my opinion, the major publishers haven't been doing that good of a job of grooming their writers. There seems to be more a tendency to keep pushing the "established" writers long after their stuff has become stale. Kind of like movie studios pushing sequel after sequel or making a movie out of every lame TV show that ever existed.
