1. I do not know enough about the cost of traditionally published books to be able to say if these online self-publisher packages are higher in cost than traditionally published books or about the same. I will say that these prices seem expensive to me. The cheapest package I saw was $299, but most ran for more.
I did look at some of their published books. I didn't see any that I had read, but I did see some that interested me. I wouldn't be opposed to reading self-published books; I would be very careful before I ordered one, however, as there were many that looked like poor quality.
2. I think self publishing is an exciting venue for people who have little hope of getting a book published the traditional way.
As a reader, I am more inclined to read authors that have gone through established publishers, or small, independent publishers, rather than an author who has self-published. But in time this may change if the future moves more toward "publish on demand" books.
