Amazon's KDP is not helping matters. All it's doing is allowing anyone with Word and Kindlegen to publish. It just causes the good authors to become lost in a sea of garbage. Also, the way we see these self-published authors get people to write good reviews regardless if they are deserved or not is also not helping. It's making the reviews worthless and this for the good authors, reviews are not helping them.
Amazon should only allow reviews from people who bought the eBook. That way, if it's to actually be reviewed, it will at least be reviewed by people who own it. That still doesn't say that the reviews will be worthwhile, but at least it stops the schmuck who doesn't give a crap about the eBook from putting in a totally worthless review or giving 1-star for some stupid reason.
