Hello,
I have a mobile app on Apple Appstore, which is full of various recipes. Now I'm thinking about releasing an eBook on Amazon (for Kindle only) which would include the most popular recipes from the app (I just want to test the eBook waters).
Recipes are not copyrighted in the US ("Copyright law does not protect recipes that are mere listings of ingredients. Nor does it protect other mere listings of ingredients such as those found in formulas, compounds, or prescriptions."), however, what if Amazon finds "duplicate" content in my eBook? Do they even screen recipe eBooks? Most of my recipes are from various websites (copy/paste) and some are modified a little to my personal liking (less sugar, less fat, etc.).
I would appreciate if someone could share their experience or thoughts about this.
Thanks.
