There is nothing wrong with having books with very small number of pages.

Disappointing content

We do not allow content that disappoints our customers or creates a poor shopping experience, including but not limited to:

• Content that is either marketed as a subscription or redirects readers to an external source to obtain the full content
• Content that is freely available on the web (unless you are the copyright owner of that content or the content is in the public domain). For more information, you can refer to the sections titled "Illegal and Infringing Content" and "Public Domain and Other Non-Exclusive Content" in the Content Guidelines.
• Content whose primary purpose is to solicit or advertise
• Content that is not significantly different from content in another book available in the Kindle Store
Content that is too short
• Content that is poorly translated
• Content that does not provide an enjoyable reading experience
• Bonus content that appears before a book's primary content
• Content that is excessively reused, recycled, or repeated within or across books

I could bold more but that might get confusing for some …….

I think that even after all this discussion, you still don't really understand how this works.
So, how am I doing now? (the members with the least to say have educated me most!)

You checked them out, flicked to the end and checked them back in again.
That isn't reading, and is almost certainly what triggered the fraud detection.
Again with the reading thing.... go back and read my earlier posts.

Amazon’s rules? Except that sanctioning and keeping these titles on the “over 1 million titles” list and letting unsuspecting schleps continue to click on them and pay the scammers doesn’t hurt Amazon’s “percentage” because they take their cut before allocating the remainder to the royalty pool. It ONLY hurts the genuine authors! And eventually when they wise up and leave, readers will have NO decent works to access.

Amazon don't honour their own rules by encouraging this to continue.

And don’t argue over the definition of “too short”, you can’t get shorter than 1 page of text!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it doesn’t have to be full)

Tag! Righto, who’s next?
