They're adding a lot of value. Part of my novel-buying process on Amazon is checking the publisher, specifically because self-published books have such awful writing.

No, I didn't, but in that case the problem wasn't the horrible writing I complain about above. "The Martian" has much better writing than the general run of self-published novels.
