While I also suspect that Amazon may be looking beyond the English speaking western world with this venture, I wonder why they didn't start in areas where "web novels' are already accepted and popular.

I've now had the chance to look at 4 Vella chunks and WiP is a kind description. One of them was more of a run through Google translate stream of consciousness from a disturbed mind that was not 'thinking' in English. None of them showed any evidence of editing, proof reading, all those little things that help make reading a pleasure. Who manages to misspell the 3 main characters names 8 times in 1400 words?
