An influx of low-quality books is expected to flood the market, driven by aggressive promotional strategies, according to a report from Telepolis.pl.
The surge is linked to increased efforts by publishers and retailers to boost visibility and sales through discount campaigns and algorithmic recommendations, which often prioritize volume over literary merit. Readers may encounter a growing number of hastily produced or derivative works gaining prominence in online stores and bestseller lists.
Industry observers note that while such promotions can increase access to reading material, they also risk diluting the overall quality of available titles, making it harder for consumers to discover well-crafted or original content.
The trend reflects broader challenges in digital publishing, where discoverability tools and promotional incentives sometimes favor quantity, potentially undermining long-term value for both readers and authors.
