Reporter Jane Friedman reports that Amazon has refused to remove fake books sold under her name, raising concerns about author verification. Facing issues with AI-generated books, Amazon is also trying to address a surge in fake and potentially dangerous travel guides. Friedman requested Amazon to remove these AI-generated fake books, but Amazon asked her to provide a trademark registration number. Amazon stated that since she does not have a trademark on her name, these books will not be removed. Friedman calls on Amazon and Goodreads to establish methods for verifying author identities to prevent the appearance of fraudulent books.
