Spam is clogging Amazon’s Kindle

Spam has hit the Kindle, clogging Amazon.com Inc.’s top-selling e-reader with material that is far from being book-worthy and threatening to undermine the company’s entry into publishing.Thousands of digital books, called e-books, are being published through Amazon’s self-publishing system each month. Many are not written in the traditional sense.Instead, they are built using something known as Private Label Rights, or PLR content, which is information that can be bought very cheaply online then reformatted into a digital book.
