One thing that fascinated me was that it appears we got 1k new ebooks in one month. What caused that huge spike?

I think there's a credit race going on between 3-5 users on the top.
They press e-text files through a program,that outputs in all formats (mobi, LRF, lit, prc,...).
Though my concern is that many books that are been automatically formatted, usually also have lousy formatting.
I much prefer books that have been hand created, and tested on a device.
My reason for saying is that many users will find current automatic formatting not sufficiently professional looking (e.g.: chapter titles beginning in the middle or end of a page; or pictures/book covers that just don't really match it's content..etc..),and will want to redo the books.
Something already happening is,that many books exist multiple times in the ebook upload section, each with their own user-variations;many which are pretty lousy, and few that really look good!
Anyways,it is something that should be thought about when counting the 8000 books.
I guess 4000-5000 books are just different format uploads of the same book (eg: prc,lrf, moni, ...), and probably a little less than 300 books are uploaded by more then one user; so that more then one version exist of the specific ebook and format.
