It was too good an opportunity for scammers to ignore. Taking advantage of Kindle’s upload by anyone policy, scammers have been ripping off lesser known authors. All it takes a name change and a cover change. Price it at $.99 and you’re set to go.
Then there are the spammers. They upload junk content. To a casual buyer, it is only $.99 right? They’ve made their money.
Kindle pays authors monthly, so it is quick turn around for the scammers as well as spammers.
