Just goes to show that it's probably better to have at least half a clue about what indie publishers are out there and what they're publishing to try and avoid these things. But then again, I only buy/DL self-pubbed books if I've heard about the author from somewhere and had them rec'd, so I doubt this is going to be an issue for me and my Sony Reader. Reviews are there for a reason, right?

*sighs* How easy it is for people to plagarise/copy other writer's work, though, is saddening. It makes you wonder how likely it is that someone who posts online would come across work in an ebook for sale on Amazon...
