I agree things will probably never be scam-proof, but obviously Amazon realizes they have a serious trust issue with their authors. They virtually never publicly address these issues like they just did on KDP.
And I'm sure they'll take steps, just like they did in switching from KU 1.0 to 2.0.
Some of these scammers actually earned All-Star bonuses--if KDP doesn't fix that, they will eventually lose some of their top authors from Select, who are seeing serious number drops.
You are so right. I accidentally double multiplied the 10.
Thanks a million for the correction.

Hey on the serious drops, is that due to scammers, not unlimited readers (borrowers) or did their books get worse, or have they not put out anything new in a while?
Another thought is how much of these all-star books are just regurgitated from their previous books.

I am pretty sure I know one all-star that is losing readers and is vocal about it.

I love Joe, but the thing is that I have read all of the older Jack Daniels series. So he kind of lost at least one reader.
