It's the people who are writing to get rich that are causing all the problems though. Apart from filling Amazon up with crap they're all over forums like this pimping it. I'm all for enthusiastic amateurs putting their work out, there are still a few gems out there if you don't mind the rough edges, but they need to be realistic about what they are likely to achieve. And if all they're interested in is money they're wasting their time.
