I accept that you got a crappy scan from a major publisher. There's always exceptions to rules. But on the whole can you honestly say that indie books are presented more professionally than books from the majors?

It hasn't been my experience and I'd wager that if major e-books were that terribly formatted as the norm, it would be a big story.

Again, I tend to buy more books from indies and small presses than the biggies. But the indies I tend to read are authors who have previously been published by a major publisher. Because that fact tells me they have at least some talent.

I'm not trying to run indies down. Just trying to keep it honest.
