It is the same approach to "consumers" that Author Solutions takes; "take 'em for all they're worth before they realize what you're doing." Repeat business not needed. It's the old "sucker born every minute" and "no shortage of dreamers" business strategy. They aren't wrong, so far.
Check the reviews on this bit of "culture" from the guardians of literature.

guardians of literature. Well, the reviews were interesting. The book can't be that bad, can it? Downloaded a sample.
Deleted the sample after fighting through the first 3 pages.
