I agree; it's a big mess! I did go through the entire list of 1,078 books today, and I had no interest whatsoever in over 95% of the books. And this is just the beginning! The authors who join KDP Select can make their Kindle ebooks free for 5 days during the 90-day contract. I expect that many are waiting to do so until after Christmas and in January, when all the new Kindle owners will be looking for books.
