Interesting news from Amazon:
They will no longer be charging for any public domain work that is not a new translation, accompanied with new illustrations or has additional content (critical edition, commentary, etc).
A lot of companies have made money from taking public domain books and reprinting them... and then releasing them into Kindle. A flood of them. Even Lethe has a few. Some companies based their entire business model around this. I'm curious what the fall-out will be.
