I didn't say this - it's the title of this article from the GoodEReader website :
http://goodereader.com/blog/commentary/self-publishing-is-completely-corrupt
After reading it, and clicking on the links, I feel weary at the casual dishonesty of people who offer paid-for book review services.
In particular, this link to an old story from the New York Times, titled 'The Best Book Review Money Can Buy' made me mad:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/b...and-for-online-raves.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
I've long thought that there's as much money to be made from offering support services to writers, as there is from actually selling books, and some of the people doing it are conmen, flim-flam men and shysters. It's no wonder that some people look down on ebooks so much.
What really appalls me about this though, is that Amazon and other ebook sales sites allow it to happen. They're destroying their own credibility.
