I check the movers and shakers list often and I was wondering why all those books had suddenly taken over the chart. I did not even click on them to see what they were.

As one reviewer said, look inside and you'll see the same two paragraphs repeated. Why did Amazon not see this?

The price  . Do people actually buy these books?

Check out the review on the title 'The Brave Donkey'

So, have any of you reported this to Amazon on the book's marketing page?

I did.

That's one way to bring their attention to it.

Yep, I just did. This kind of nonsense spoils my experience of using Amazon. I want to find good books in the HNR and movers and shakers lists. Taking over 2-3 pages of the chart makes me

 

[BellaJames]

Yeah. Apparently karma ain't all it's cracked up to be.

 

[BellaJames]

What I don't understand is who in their right mind would buy this crap? Who could possibly be suckered into this?

That's what I want to know. Are real people buying these books?

 

[BellaJames]

Looks like those scambooks have been/are now being removed.

I can still see them from 50-100 on movers and shakers and the HNR chart

Sorry I just don't understand how these people are making money.
I read the article on David Gaughrans site /KU Scammers Attack Amazon's Free Ebook Charts but that's about the free chart. How are they making money on a book priced at $9.99

 

[BellaJames]

The books are in kindle unlimited.

They are borrowing each title a thousand times. Each book is 3000 kenpc of baloney. That's 15$ every borrow and full read.

They are making $15,000 on each title in 24 hours. You are looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in just those 11 titles in the top 100.

Somehow, this person has managed to create a thousand KU accounts and is actively coordinating them to mass read pages of their KU titles. The scale of this scam is staggering.

They aren't buying the books at all.

Thank you for explaining it.

They have all disappeared from the movers and shakers list
