Sorry about other things slowing you down. Hope that improves.<br /><br />Part of my problem with not knowing which book payments are for is because I publish through my husband's company which he started back in 2001 when POD took off and many writers began self-publishing (before Amazon). That means he gets all the sales information, (and has to search for it besides) not me. Some of his sales are for two other writers, even though six of the books he "publishes" are mine. Number seven coming up soon. Have a great day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560755679498126758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146194488030637443.post-26918010205698333752014-08-31T10:29:07.846-07:002014-08-31T10:29:07.846-07:00Hi Phyllis,
What you said about Amazon is interes...Hi Phyllis,<br /><br />What you said about Amazon is interesting. First, I notice very little mention of other sources by authors, like Sony or Nook. Second, on the Kindle Direct Publishing bookshelf they have various reports and if you scroll down the page and maybe move to the right you'll see the dollar value. You can also look at other markets, i.e. Britain, especially in the case of FINDING AMY. If you use Createspace they have a similar dashboard. Sometimes the zoom size for the page hides valuable info that many don't know is there.<br /><br />Good: I'm going to release A MORE PERFECT UNION this week<br />Bad: I'm overwhelmed with other factes of my life slowing me down (which is good, actually, for that well balanced human being)<br />Frustrating: I notice that Amazon's KDP isn't paying for lends when the reader reads less than 10%. Well, that's just about everybody and besides that Amazon (their grubby hands on more profit) forgot the enticement they made to authors to stay with them alone. It seems to me, we'll get less sales because of the lends and not get paid for the lends. I'll need to revisit KDP.<br /><br />BobRW Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473786472219141232noreply@blogger.com
