Eloquence is the poetry of prose.

The nearer I approach the end, the clearer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is marvelous yet simple.

Eh, it sounds reasonable to me. I mean, I'm pretty sure that with words like "royalties" involved, you don't get 100% of the profits, so they're making cash too. S'not a scam, just a way to get published that probably doesn't make nearly as much as if you were picked up by a publishing company... but gets your name *out* there.
