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).

This hasn't been true for a long, long time. The days of publishers spending time to develop a writer are gone. If a writer's agent isn't coming to the door with a manuscript that's 99% ready to go, the writer is unlikely to get published.
