Drace (dracenines) | 7643 comments In a previous thread, Jaclyn established that in a case where a book that does not have an ebook edition gets bootleg ebook or Kindle editions created in violation of the book's copyright, they should be marked invalid: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The book A Canticle for Leibowitz does not have any Kindle edition available in the United States, so people regularly attempt to sell stolen ebooks as Kindle editions of the book. Because of how Goodreads works, the site automatically imports these bootleg editions regardless of site policy. As such, the following editions need to be marked invalid:

A. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
B. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
C. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
D. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
