You are absolutely right. I don't care who the author is, if the story looks interesting to me, I'll buy the book if I have time to read it. I don't have much time nowadays, and that's my biggest restraint regarding how much I get to read.
It's about the story, not who's writing it. I would rather buy a thought-provoking piece by an unknown author than to see an author, let's say for the sake of this post, J.K. Rowling, quickly write up a bunch of garbage late one night and be made to feel like I had to reading it because of the author's "prestige".
