So, something that a lot of people are overlooking in this mess of scammers are readers. No, I\u2019m not saying this to curry favor with readers. I\u2019m still<\/em> a reader and I wonder about how this impacts readers now, and how it can impact them five, ten years from now.<\/p>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t be a writer if I hadn\u2019t been a reader first. I can remember all the weeks I spent back when I was a kid, twelve years old, riding my bike about six or seven miles with a backpack full of books to the library so I could turn those books in and get a bunch more. The cycle would repeat all over again a week later.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a writer now because I had books that fed the growing writer in me then and because of that, I know how important it is to protect the voice and platform of creators.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also\u2026me<\/em> because of those books, because I had access to those books, because I had a glimpse outside of a world beyond the one where I lived.<\/p>\n

I grew up with an alcoholic father. I was surrounded by racism. Yes, I\u2019m white, but even at a young age, I knew there was something wrong there and I hated it. Books helped me figure out just what <\/em>that wrong thing was. There were growing problems with drugs and violence in the neighborhood where I lived much of my childhood. Yet I never got drawn into any of that. The bullying I dealt with? I ignored. I had a paper route which I did mostly so I\u2019d have book money and the teasing and bullying I got when I\u2019d leave on my bike to do that? I ignored. I already had insights into a world where people weren\u2019t judged on whether or not they hung with the cool crowd or had already had sex or whether they did what everybody else did just so they didn\u2019t stand out and I wasn\u2019t going to settle for anything but finding a world like that on my own.<\/p>\n

Reading had given me a way out, because I knew<\/em> there was more outside the narrow walls my current world had presented at the time and nobody was going to get in my way.<\/p>\n

And many<\/em> of the lessons I<\/em> learned about being a woman who could stand up and make her own way\u2026? I learned from reading silly ol\u2019 romances. There\u2019s value in this genre that goes deeper than 0.99, 1.99, 2.99 or even 15.99 or 24.00.<\/p>\n

It can be the value of making and changing lives and I\u2019m not going to ignore the assholes who think they can overtake the genre, cheapen it by flooding the market with regurgitated works repeatedly.<\/p>\n

Now that<\/em> is a personal viewpoint.<\/p>\n

From a general, non-emotional, practical reader standpoint, when you buy a book that\u2019s released in 2019 and there\u2019s no disclosure about being previously released<\/em> and no information about its earlier releases on the copyright date<\/em>\u2026it\u2019s deceptive. It\u2019s misleading. It\u2019s bullshit. Readers can and do<\/em> pick up on these things. Especially<\/em> in romance, because, folks\u2026we\u2019re voracious, we\u2019re read by the truckload, and yes, we\u2019ll figure it out if books are being regurgitated. We deserve better than that.<\/p>\n

And no\u2026it\u2019s not just me<\/em> saying that.<\/p>\n

YES\u2026It Affects Readers<\/h3>\n

A reader emailed me yesterday. Below is the text of her email, in its entirety, with no changes made, save for swapping out her<\/em> name with Reader J<\/em><\/strong> and the Amazon Rep\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

I asked Reader J if she\u2019d mind if I shared and she was more than happy for me to do so.<\/p>\n

Visiting website:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comment:<\/strong> Just wanted to share a chat transcript with Amazon regarding the scammers at KU. Thought you’d appreciate it.<\/p>\n

Hello,<\/p>\n

Here’s a copy of the chat transcript you requested:<\/p>\n

Initial Question: I have recently become aware of an issue that\u2019s been plaguing the Kindle Unlimited & KDP Platforms for some time, namely the practices used by some participants who buy up manuscripts from other participants after the income stream has dried, then repackage, recover, sell as new on KU with no disclosure that the work has been previously published, not even a mention on the copyright page. They use a rapid release schedule, and may or may not use click farms and other methods to help bolter standing, but the repetitive cycle of constant releases pushes them higher up in visibility, earning them a larger share from the KU proceeds and on their part, they do no true work, make no disclosure about the fact they\u2019re releasing rehashed work and are flooding KU with recycled works that make the quality of the platform rather questionable, while many authors with new stories, fresh voices struggle to find any visibility at all.<\/p>\n

As a subscriber of Kindle Unlimited, and as a reader, I have sele
\n01:33 PM PST N.<\/b>(Amazon): Hello, my name is N.<\/strong> I’m here to help you today.
\nLet me connect you to a member of the team that will best be able to help you with this. It will only take a moment.
\n01:34 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>(Amazon): Hello, my name is Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>. Please give me a moment to review the previous correspondence.
\n01:35 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience caused
\n01:35 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: Let me sum it up. Kindle Unlimited is allowing scammers to recycle old books under new names. It’s dishonest, fraudulent and annoying. I’ve canceled my KU membership until Amazon puts in some better controls.
\n01:36 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: Just want to be sure someone there knows WHY I canceled my subscription, and maybe can look into the fraud happening over at Kindle Unlimited.
\n01:39 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: Okay
\n01:39 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: I realize that the loss of my $119.88 per year isn’t much in the grand scheme of things, but I’ll be passing the information about the scammers using the Kindle Unlimited platform along to all my friends. And their friends.
\n01:40 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: I have forwarded your valuable comments to the appropriate team for consideration
\nJust to confirm, are you an Author Reader J<\/strong>?
\n01:40 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: No, ma’am. I’m a reader.
\n01:41 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: I read at least one book per night. I have become very frustrated lately that the books I’ve been selecting are books I’ve read before, under a different title or by a different author.
\n01:43 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: I keep book logs of what I read because I participate in a reading program at my local library. That’s how I started noticing that the same books were showing up under different titles. Then I found an author’s blog that explained how it was happening.
\n01:43 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: I am collecting all the information to forward
\n01:44 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: Please stay connected
\n01:45 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: Did you noticed this anywhere else too?
\n01:49 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: Only on Kindle Unlimited. The only other digital platform I use is Libby by Overdrive which is managed for libraries, so all content is vetted by librarians. For now, I’ll stick with Libby and check out books from the library. I hope Kindle Unlimited can put some better controls in place to fix this, because I really like the access provided. I’ve just become tired of the diminishing quality of titles available because of these scammers.
\n01:49 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention
\n01:50 PM PST Amazon Rep C.<\/strong>: I have successfully forwarded your valuable comments to the appropriate team for consideration. Our customers convenience is always our top priority
\n01:50 PM PST Reader J<\/strong>: Thank you.<\/p>\n

Thank you.

Readers Deserve Better. We All Do.<\/h4>\n

If you bought a new movie at the store and it turned out to be Starship Troopers <\/em>(sorry, I can\u2019t think of a worst movie), but the producer had retitled it, put a new wrapper on it and changed nothing<\/em> else inside it, you\u2019d have the right to feel cheated.<\/p>\n

Likewise, if you purchase a book or download it through a platform you pay to access<\/em>, you\u2019ve got the fricking right to expect new, original content if it\u2019s marketed as such. And unless it\u2019s disclosing the fact that\u2019s been previously published, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday, I blogged and asked authors to speak up and contact Amazon<\/a>. Readers, if you feel that this is affecting you, you can do the same. If you\u2019ve seen practices like Reader J, if you\u2019re fed up with quality issues plaguing the Kindle Unlimited platform, you\u2019ve got a voice and power with it.<\/p>\n

You can email<\/p>\n

jeff@amazon.com<\/a>\u00a0CC both <\/span>content-review@amazon.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>legal@amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n

PSA to the visiting trolls (please note, this isn’t directed at authors or readers who have differing viewpoints…it’s directed specifically at scammers who are pissed off I’m shining a light on this)<\/em><\/p>\n

You might want to take note of my response to trolls<\/a>, my response when you threaten to report me to Amazon<\/a>, my response to somebody suggesting\u00a0I try writing books<\/a>…(really? 90+ books? I stopped counting but 90+ and several dozen are with traditional pubs.).<\/p>\n

Oh, and take a look at the disclaimer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically, hassle me all you want. It won’t have any effect except to fuel me on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
