I can only assume this is a person who took the initiative to take an ebook freely available on the web, do a piss poor format of it for the Kindle, and then charge 99 cents for it.
And here lies the fundamental flaw in Amazon's Digital Text Platform: No quality control. My personal solution is to stick to known publishing houses when purchasing e-books.
