Oh wow.
Ok, if you truly feel that publishers bring no value to the table, especially with ebooks, than you should be quite satisfied getting your fiction fix, if any, off of the internet newsgroups and other places where authors distribute their work directly.
Feel free to wade through the mass of tortured prose of such swell quality, and chuckle at my gullibility for spending cash to read something that has been filtered, edited, packaged and publicized. What, you think those functions only bring value to the writer, not the reader? Um, once again, feel free to spend
your time wading through the unedited stuff.
