E or eh? Reading Levels of Snob Appeal

At this point in the ebook reader, ebook and self-publishing evolution, it's time for readers to speak up.

The options are getting better and better. Venerable book review publications are rethinking their "we don't review self-published works" stances. High-quality book publishers (read: those with editors as a must-have, not just a nice-to-have part of the package) are faced with the challenge so many other marketers face.

How can we distinguish one little fish from so many in the sea?

Goodreads is, IMHO, one of the ways we - readers! - can help each other select winning titles from the lot.

But what can a marketer do to convince you to bite on their hooks, and dive into their books?
 Eager to hear from you ~~~ on Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, or right here.

PS: Want a free book about snobs? You got it. Thank Mr. Gutenberg.
