I'm crossposting this. A company called Plushbooks is scraping fanfics off of AO3 and posting them -- sometimes with plagiarized cover art as well -- as Kindle books. Twitter user
kokomroily created a thread calling out some of the ones they noticed, and others have replied with more:

(Caveat: Twitter could go down in flames any day now, and maybe already is, but anyway...)
There's everything from Alien & Predator fics to Jurassic Park, Star Trek, various vampire and zombie IPs, etc. I don't see any Harry Potter from a quick look but there is some "fantasy romance."
The company's page on Amazon has over 500 books, including a lot of cookbooks (maybe also including web-scraped content? since recipes are all over the web...): https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BMB1RG5J
Please spread the word that folks should check for their works.
