Does Amazon have the authority to delist or blacklist your book if it is not a top seller due to slothful marketing labours after publication?

I plan on publishing the first few books, purely to trademark or copyright my pen name, so that when I do publish my best selling books, nobody can steal my name and likeness and pass it it off as their own.

Therefore the first few books I publish will not be as excellent as my later book publications since I can't afford to hire editors for all my book ideas beyond those that are given to be me through social alliances or prepaid events.

Ya. Private company, it can do what it wants

[AI Opinion]

Amazon does have the authority to delist books, but typically not for reasons related to sales performance or marketing efforts. Delisting often occurs due to violations of their content guidelines or publishing policies. If your initial publications meet Amazon’s terms of service and do not breach any content guidelines, they should remain available regardless of sales performance. Consider ensuring your content adheres to Amazon’s guidelines to avoid any issues.
