The a can finally sell without a publisher print their works directly to the reader, the other with Pseudo-books in a row rip off customers. One of the most successful Amazon impostor is now blown. He earned in one year more than two million euros. And operating for over 80,000 Amazon Accounts.
The needed Valeriy S. to push his books in the Amazon lists above, reported ZDNet. He sold, namely, trashy books, especially a supposed Advisor. He had to cook every possible and impossible topic: non-verbal communication to herbal antibiotics.
