I agree, but at the same time, I know that if I buy something from a major publisher it will at least have had a cursory attempt at editing. For something self-published, I don't have that assurance. I've not sworn off self-published books, but now I'll be looking through them more to check on something like that. I've never actually gone through a book on a bookstore shelf before to make sure that the spelling's correct. Before, I just assumed that would be done.
