I've run across more than a few non legit ebooks on Amazon. Sometimes it's obvious, other times it takes some investigation. There are a few common give aways, but basically as long as it passes the smell test, I assume it's legit. I will say that I'm a lot more likely to put effort into validating it's legit if the author is still alive. There was a version of Lord of Lights that came out several years ago that very obviously didn't pass the smell test.
