I read the self-published version of The Martian by Andy Weir. I later read the edited version by Random House. I enjoyed the original story, but loved the edited version. The ending was so much improved too. The thing is, the book likely would never have seen a publisher if it hadn't been so popular self-published. So, yes, I do prefer the edited version, but I'd still read a self-published book if it interests me enough.
