Summary:

"The delay in sharing the 'share' function comes after Amazon had some trouble ensuring that materials uploaded to its site were all actually allowed to be there: Soon after Inspire launched in 2016, the New York Times reported that teachers found that the site contained materials that had been posted without authors' permission and violated copyright. Amazon pulled those materials from its site. But in June 2017, the education news site EdSurge reported that the site remained in an invitation-only beta mode and questioned whether Amazon was truly invested in the project.  "
