I remember that one - interestingly the amazon link it goes to shows only 3 books now, all that look real, not the 40 that I remember seeing before.

So I guess Amazon is doing something even though I regularly hear complaints from authors that they allow blatant piracy all the time



>shows only 3 books now

Those appear to be by different authors with similar names: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=%22tom+lesley%22


Amazon has no reason to give a shit about piracy on KDP: they make money either way. But having a load of AI generated garbage on your platform makes it far less valuable. You want your stolen books to actually be good. :P


Possibly it's the author removing them at the first one star rating to keep their author score high?
