Does anyone know how amazon would react to this. If someone "publishes" a PD book with "value added" content it seems this could be a different story.
I think the assumption is that they would only accept PD books from large established publishers, and not at all from "unknown" publishers regardless of whether there is "value added content"...

Hope I am wrong though.
