#Tag yourself I'm Hrank Ferbert

[bruinhilda]

I’m looking at the kindle e-book sale listings, and nearly every entry, the first letters of the author’s names are switched.

Lawrence Sanders is listed as Sawrence Landers, Ellery Queen is now Qllery Eueen, and on and on.  Authors who just have initials and last names have lost the initials. C.J. Box is now just “Box,” J.D Barker is now “Barker.”  Three name authors have it even weirder.  Eric Van Lustbader is now the author Lan Eric.  Authors whose first and last names have the same first letter have largely been spared.  A couple just had their first and last names fully transposed.  (Sharon Moreland became Moreland Sharon, for example.)  And I counted four entries, all on the same line, that were written correctly. 

I’m guessing this is some auto programming glitch, as opposed to human fuckery, because I suspect a human prank would be a bit more creative.
