I'd rather be reading. I'd rather pay a premium for a traditionally published book that I know meets minimum standards of competence and that offers me editorial reviews from legitimate sources.

What you're failing to understand is I that spent the exact same amount of time searching for books I was pretty sure I'd like even
before the self-pub revolution. I'm not spending any more time than I ever did (even with indies being factored in). The only thing that has changed for me is that I now have access to even more filters to help me choose. There is no "extra time" spent wading. In fact it might be less.
