book stuffing
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: This practice, known as book stuffing, is paired with a link at the start of the book encouraging readers to click for a bonus story or special message placed at the end of the book.

In order to truly quash book stuffing in the self-publishing community, however, Amazon will need to enforce its own rules.
