Something just dawned on me.
Looks like Amazon is a threat to the freedom of expression since customers will now be warned about bad books.
@Catlady, why are you so worried? Do you write books that are unreadable?
Now to answer your question, why should Amazon pay big money to vet books?
It is up to the author/publisher to put out the best book they can. I used to assume that if one wrote a book, that one could actually read on a high school level. Or at least junior high.
I also assumed most writers were somewhat professional and knew this was a business.
(Hitch, you can quit laughing or crying at my assumptions now.)
Too bad I was very highly mistaken.
At least now us readers will be warned if we are about to buy house worms with depression or a herd of staffs greeted me warmly at the hotel.
Those were two books that either needed fixed or a warning.
I am looking forward to this.
Oh and Catlady, there are a ton and a half of "proofreaders" on fivver.
