The Washington Post reported today that some Kindle users may be paying for books that, by all accounts, should be free.
Many classic titles are showing up on the Kindle store that appear to be from Project Gutenberg. There are not just the same books, but are rather the actual Gutenberg files with only minor formatting tweaks. The header and footer where the Gutenberg license is contained is also stripped out.Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation CEO Greg Newby said this was legal, but unethical. Some of the Gutenberg works are showing up on Kindle only a day or two after becoming available in Project Gutenberg. People seem to have realized they can harvest these works, and make a little profit.
