Spam clogging Amazon’s Kindle self-publishing

Posted by cel4145 in amazon, kindle, spam

The Globe and Mail reports that spammers have discoverd how to publish those $0.99 books on Amazon: 

. . . Aspiring spammers can even buy a DVD box set called Autopilot Kindle Cash that claims to teach people how to publish 10 to 20 new Kindle books a day without writing a word.

Good thing it's not quite that easy to generate Android apps, or before long, spammers could be doing the same thing in the Android Market.

Titlez down?

Posted by Matt Barton in amazon, ranking, titlez

Does anyone know anything about why or how long Titlez is down? I was really enjoying this service, which let me track Amazon sales rankings for my books. It was in beta, so perhaps they took it down to make way for their official release. At any rate, if anyone knows anything about it, or can recommend an alternative service for tracking Amazon sales rankings, please let me know.
