I listen to a lot of indie music, but mostly because the music I like is no longer mainstream. Rockabilly really hasn't been popular widely in decades, with the exception of Brian Setzer. Although you do run across more low quality with indie, because of funding issues or just because they're not good enough to be picked up, it seems to be more of just a difference in styles. Maybe people tend to prefer the mainstream books, and the stylistic differences you can find in indie authors just aren't what they are after.
