I agree with DiapDealer's response to you.
There have been a number of threads on Mobileread covering this "very little effort".
I am extremely happy for you that that you feel confident placing such faith in traditional publishers. I am not here to convert you. Whatever works for you is fine by me. I was simply pointing out that your apparent view of self-publishing as a dung heap with the odd gem possibly hidden therein is probably due to your own attitude and the way you pick books to read. I have no problem with you sticking with so-called "proper" publishers and for you it is probably a valid selection technique. Personally I think you are missing out in many ways.
