re: #248 J.S.

hmmm…according to that Slate article, the “problems” occurred due to “Someone uploaded bootlegged copies using the Kindle Store’s self-publishing system” — “self-publishing system” ? ! ? well, gee whiz, i wonder how that happened…(o brother, might have more to do with amazon’s “self-publishing” system? maybe?)

Anyone can put a book up for sale through the Kindle, by signing up for Amazon’s Digital Text Platform. After this debacle, I’m sure they’re going to start monitoring the submissions more carefully to make sure they have the right to publish.
