Provided the page count is good, and there's a sample to read online. I typically buy e-books that are clearly self-published. The reason is most of the big names don't have the stuff I want, and the stuff I do want isn't necessarilly the best written, but tells the best story.
Publishers are great gate-keepers, you know you're getting a level of quality. But like free software is to non-free, there are niches to be filled. And often the quality is very high, due dilligence is requred.
Also, it should be noted, your stuff on Amazon doesn't really show in bright neon that it was self published. So, Amazon becomes a great leveler in my opinion. Very neat times.
Recently I bought 6 e-books. All were in the paranormal/romance/gay sub-genre. *grin* Were-(wolf, cat, lion etc) guy on guy action. Fun stuff. Some was crap, some was amazing. But all of it was *FUN!
