[gutvol-d] Re: Taste & ethics with old e-books at Kindle

My take on all this is that somehow Amazon has got this idea that they can let people publish under the Amazon name without doing SOME kind of policing what kind of "books" people publish there. Obviously to me under this business model some people will figure that they can capitalize on the Amazon name in a negative way by ripping people off. So, my take on this is that right now Amazon has a failed business model for their publishing house. If you want your name to retain credibility you have to do some policing of your publishing efforts -- even PG has got the whitewashers "police force" -- ;-) ...but this in turn begs the question of what exactly people are publishing on Amazon using the PG name???
