Quite simply put: it was their impossible bundle pricing. No upstart site (they only have 500 eBook titles) can offer all the Game of Thrones audiobooks for $19.99. 11 Harry Potter ebooks for $9.99? 42 John Grisham titles for $29.99?? C'mon... who's even entertaining the notion they're legit?

Never mind the claim of "Compatible with All Devices." Not a single one of the titles I saw are available anywhere without DRM. So how exactly is this 500-title eBook store going to sell you huge bundles of Kindlebooks that are going to be keyed to your Amazon account without running the sale through Amazon (who can't sell bundles of ebooks themselves that cheaply)? The answer is: they're not. They're going to sell you pirated, DRM-free copies of retail ebooks in any format you want.

That site just screamed piracy.
