Maybe I just have lower standards than you.

At least you're snarkier than I am. That's basically what I buy on Amazon, stuff that goes on sale (i.e., you can't say, "Hey I want to buy Lord of the Rings today" and expect it will be priced at $1.99 at Amazon today, ditto in reference to the other authors) — or I buy classics that are in the Public Domain that have been "cleaned up."
What I was actually talking about is the stuff that Amazon sells cheap or puts on their Unlimited or free Prime reading lists. Most of that is basically "you get what you
don't pay for." I thought I was pretty clear about what I was talking about in my original post.
(Dang, that "snarky" thing is catching.)
