Personally I like self published books. Let's be honest, how many new authors get published by these publishing giants? Not too many! They are only interested in established authors who bring in their own fan base.
If you want to get a feel for what new authors are doing, you've got to read the self published books, there's no way around it!
Yeah most of them are awful, but no one puts a gun to our heads and forces us to read, we can quit a book when we start to hear that loud sucking sound! And they don't cost much, frequently they are given away, so the cost is minimal.
