By those snobs definition, Serious readers are sworn acolytes of the Big 5 publishers, they ONLY read books recommended by them. Which means they only read the recommended best seller books and pay serious money for them thereby keeping the Big 5 in business.
They STILL don't consider self-publishing to be relevant.
The hypocrisy though is if someone self publishes and becomes a hit, they will fall all over themselves to get them signed under their label so that they can make the money and not Amazon!
