Publishers obviously are n’t felicitous about about it , but some of these titles are hilarious . I Am The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo , anybody ? gravely , who falls for that ? manifestly , a fate of the great unwashed .
Fortune found a slew of these ripoffs on Amazon . presently , the online retailer ’s bestselling bookFifty Shades of Greyby E.L. James . If you ’d been searching for the pop romance novel would you have been fooled by the very similarThirty - Five Shades of Greyby J.D. Lyte ? Maybe , in reality !
Not only are the people who are lay these books up for sale reap gain and rive people off , Amazon is complicit in the whole affair :
Unfortunately some of the best clone are no longer available as far as we can tell . fit in to Fortune , Steve Jobs by Isaac Worthington was rupture up the charts on Amazon at one percentage point , but we have n’t been able-bodied to find it .
evidently , book publishers have wised up to the cozenage and are get some books overstretch down when they ’re discovered . But this trouble is n’t going anywhere fast . Amazon is just too large . Next time you ’re searching for a book , be heedful which one you buy . [ luck ]
