This is the first time I've looked at Creative Commons. Does the wording make sense? Is there a better way of putting it?

You can add it and most thieves won't notice or see it. I can help when/if you have to email Amazon--you can mention that the creative commons license is still in the book showing where the book was lifted. Amazon is very good about looking into things like that although they will take down any public domain book that is for sale unless a preface/study notes/etc has been added that stands under its own copyright (and they will determine if the front matter or study matter is bunk.)
It's quite likely that Kobo would also take the stuff down, but there is no way to contact them to report the issue that I know of (short of going through their regular CS).
