USA has less consumer protection, on average, than EU or UK.
If you are wanting to read on an actual Kindle, or use your Kindle Serial # as part of D&T and then convert to epub

Bold are items that mean it's a real Kindle ebook. Almost any of them.

A so called Kindle Title that only works on an app. The Fire support means App as it's just an Amazon version of Android tablet.
In the past some real ebooks were artificially blocked from screen readers or text to speech. That might even be illegal in some countries now.
This one doesn't have the device warning

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser Omnibus Kindle & comiXology
But "ComiXology" means it's not a "real" Kindle. See the Product details

No number of pages!
The Preview would not download from my Library and would only view on Web.
Also ALWAYS check the number of pages. You may not wish to spend as much for 11 pages as 245, even for a favourite author.

It would be fairer to anthologise a number of shorts to 100 to 200 pages and charge 99c to $2
A final red flag is the words "Print Replica" in the description. You might be lucky and find it's at least just a PDF in an Amazon wrapper. It won't work on kindle eink (might on Scribe) and won't convert to epub. You can't tel it can unwrap to a PDF till you buy (for an app/Fire).
