Also known as the worst of the worst of the worst books available. You're not in the minority; every writer with an agent hates the shit out of Amazon. I know a guy who regularly does $10k/mo self-publishing, but he publishes 5,000 word smutbooks under a dozen different aliases. He's like the YouPorn of pulp erotica. But I also know guys with million dollar advances and I'll let you guess who's happier. Somewhere on here there's an article in which the "penetration" of common books is mined by determining the density of highlighted text. Ahh, yes. Found it.Amazon’s announcement only says that the new formula applies to Kindle Select books that are self-published and distributed through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing program.
