Why is Amazon condoning this?
OK, I know why, because there's a profit in it for them as well. Sheesh, this sell-anything-for-a-price insanity has got to stop somewhere. Vive la revolution!

There's nothing wrong with people taking a public domain text and trying to sell it. It's not that that I'm complaining about. It's that they do it so badly!
I suspect Amazon don't try to weed out the really poorly formatted versions because they don't want to spend the resources necessary to do it, and then defend having done it.
