    I guess technically you could do that (depending on the rights you get when you purchase the ebook), but I wouldn't recommend it...

    If you're going to go the Amazon route, which a lot of big marketers seem to be doing, you'd be better off providing unique, helpful content just like with any other online marketing stratgey.

    Amazon is now checking their ebooks for unique content too so if you upload a PLR ebook that someone else has already uploaded you may find that it is not accepted.

    I don't know what your budget is but if the content creation is your issue you could always outsource that aspect of it.

    Selling ebooks on Amazon can be a great source for lead generation, but not if you try to take advantage of it by submitting rehashed PLR.
