(n.b.: I confess that it's not clear to me, either, if this REALLY happened, or if there was some flurry of people abruptly putting worthless links from the front to the end of the book, or if it was apocrypha.

It is true
. I had a game guide from KU. TOC sent me to a single page of actual relevant guide at end of book. Before that, visible in Kindle for PC, were 200+ pages of misc junk, including a wedding planner guide, in French.
Checked a different book, same authors, same dirty tricks, I see they are no longer listed, I could not figure why this was done until I read about the payment per page scam and how me reading the final page got them a 200 pages read payment.
Ultimate game guides were the scammers, I think.
In my same one month trial I found several books with exactly ten pages. That was an earlier scam,.
Amazon previously counted a KU book as read , and paid out ,once 10% had been reached, so simply opening a ten page book was an immediate 10% done, money please.
KU is a scammers paradise, there are several other scams ongoing.
