📚 AI is Diluting the Amazon Self-Publishing Market

An arXiv study (2607.20349) shows that the sales volume of books with AI content has grown 19.2x, while total revenue increased by only 8.9x. This leads to a decrease in revenue per book sold.

🌍 AI is changing the rules of the game through scale. A massive flood of cheap content is capturing rankings, displacing non-AI authors, especially in Kindle Unlimited subscription segments.

👤 It will become harder for consumers to distinguish quality literature from mass-produced AI products, and authors will have to compete with an endless stream of nearly free content.
