Too long, I know.

I'll add those to the list. So far we have the following suggestions to describe Krypos and similar publishers. All of these are wonderful suggestions, you are to be commended.
1. Premium Public Domain Publishers.
2. Weird Name Publishers.
3. Shovelbook, Shovelprint, or Shovelworks Publishers (with the suggester's preference, "Shovelworks," being duly noted).
4. Hope-you're-too-dumb-to-notice-it's-online-elsewhere-for-free Opportunistic Publishers.
Being so very humble and modest as I am, I forgot to include my suggestion earlier:
5. Cleaned-up-public-domain-books republishers.
Please, if you make a suggestion, give lots of thought to it, as the one chosen will be the
official Mobileread way of designating these publishers for all eternity. (ha)
