Often it just makes sense. Print is still bigger than eBooks and getting successfully in that market is done better by trad pubs.

Some of these authors have tried to get trad pubed and were rejected. As you can see at their success, trad pub has failed in these cases to pick the right books.

I mostly read trad pub books, but some times self published too. For my reading pleasure, only the quality if the book is important. Trad pub publishes so many bad books too. When was the last time, you picked up some random book, just because it surely has to be good, because it is published? I look at recommendations, reviews etc. to get inspirations to what to read next.
