Considering how shamelessly that site exploits pirate content I would buy that as much as Konrath's conversion to trad publishing:

Konrath has his detractors in the trad-pub world but he dishes it out with gusto.
Definitely stands up for his convictions. Tuebl is just a weasel site, though the MO of pirating epubs and linking to Kindle sales is amusing. |

I believe that was their idea of an April Fool joke.

As I said, shameless.
I first found out about them because some publishing types were making a fuss over the site at Teleread. So I used the article as a guide to find it and see how it works. After picking up my jaw from the floor at the guy's unmitigated gall I moved on. 9 months later and he's still in business so I guess umitigated gall pays. |

It's also sometimes hard to know what is and what isn't a legal site just as it's not always easy to know a real email from a site from a pishing site.

But a site that serves up commercial epubs for free and links to the Amazon ebookstore for the full price Kindle versions? That's a duck. |
