Thanks darryl. I didn't mean to suggest there was anything wrong with your change in habits (due to agency). Just wanted to point out that I don't think it's that common.
I DO think it's a bit limiting (and yes, slightly odd) to exclude TBR material based primarily on the publishing path of the author. I myself am open to reading (and with me, reading automatically includes buying) just about anything--indie or trad-pubbed. So long as it sounds interesting, and someone whose reading likes and dislikes are known to me have offered honest insight into it, I'll give it a shot. Life's too short for me to take the time to decide whether or not I want to punish an author (and potentially myself) for a decision they made that has nothing to with story writing and story reading. *shrug*
