And if it's a legal copy, WHY isn't it on Amazon, as KGSTudios asserts "worldwide rights?" What legit publisher in their right MIND would only put a bestselling trilogy up on SW, and NOT on Amazon? It's daft. All you have to have, to publish on Amazon, is a rights-reversion letter or a rights letter or even simply a rights EMAIL. This I know factually, as we deal with scads of rights-reverted works and backlist books. AND books from deceased authors.

That there was a version from KGStudios up there, on Amazon--and there appears not to be, now, is more telling than anything else we've discussed herein, IMHO. Given how low the bar for entry really is....

Just sayin'.

I bought it from Amazon last year. The publisher says very explicitly in the front that they are copyrighted, and that they bought the exclusive rights for ebooks from the author
