Amazoodle is currently blocking anything that looks like a public domain book from its Kindle store. They say it’s because the multiple titles creates customer confusion. Should be no problem whatsoever to figure out who should get to see a public domain work and who shouldn’t. No problem at all.
I am (was?) in the process of converting all of the 2,000+ e-books at sacred-texts into Kindle editions. I use a homebrew preflight Kindle filter to construct the Kindle binary from my master files, which we have invested nearly a million dollars into creating. We spend thousands a month in-house doing legal clearance, scanning, OCRing, and proofing, often by domain experts. So we are hardly a fly-by-night operation. In fact, many of the PD texts floating around on the Internet and on the Kindle were originally done at sacred-texts at great investment of labor and time. Our Kindle return rate is close to zero.

Perhaps one of the new competitors in the ebook market will take advantage of Amazon’s stinginess. I know that if I was looking for an ereader and one would download new PD books and the other wouldn’t, which I’d choose.
