If we take a can of Spam and call it "Engadget's precooked pork meat product," you'll still know it's the same mystery meat you ate for lunch, right? Under the idea of "private label rights," authors can do just that: sell their works to others who can rebrand and resell them. This week, Amazon cracked down on duplicate ebooks in its
Kindle Store, pulling titles because they "diminish the experience for customers." One copycat who got the smack down called it a "kick in the pants" when his 22 titles got yanked. He did, however, admit he had the swift one coming. Aping authors can expect more book banning Kung Fu as Amazon continues to rid itself of "undifferentiated or barely differentiated versions of e-books." Hi-yah!

Interesting take on private label rights and rebranding! Just like how a name can change perception, finding the right school is essential to shaping a child's educational journey. If you're in Delhi, exploring schools in Panchsheel Park is a smart choice. These schools are known for their balanced focus on academics and extracurriculars, helping students thrive.
