More than four years ago, I self-published my first e-book at amazon, and since then, it has sold more than 1,500 copies.
The e-book is called, “1,375 well sourced examples of Barack Obama’s lies, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, hypocrisy, waste, etc.”
This is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E4U36NE
Recently, amazon removed the e-book from sale, and told me it was because a few links in my text had gone dead, there were a few typos, and an image inside the e-book did not meet their standards.
In response to this, I replaced the dead links with links that worked, I fixed the typos, and I uploaded the new version.
I also told amazon that there were no images inside the e-book, so their claim about an image inside the e-book not meeting their standards was not a legitimate claim. (There is a cover image, but that was approved years ago.)
They sent me an email which said the new version of my e-book was approved, and was currently available for sale.
But it was not available for sale. It was still suppressed.
So I re-uploaded the new version again a few days later.
And again, they sent me an email which said it was approved, and was currently available for sale.
But again, it is still not available. It is still suppressed.
Here’s a screenshot from the e-books’s product page, which says:
And here’s a screenshot from the e-book’s product page, which says the e-book is:
“under review”
Here’s a link to the internet archive, which proves that those two screenshots are real, and that the sale of my e-book was suppressed as of July 23, 2020:
So I contacted amazon again, and they said there were a few current issues that I needed to fix, and that I could see these issues at my quality dashboard.
But when I looked at my quality dashboard, it said there were zero current issues.
Here’s a screenshot from my quality dashboard, which says:
“Under review by Amazon 0 issues in 0 books”
So amazon lied to me when they said the text of my e-book had an image which did not meet their standards.
And they lied to me when they said my e-book was currently available for sale.
And they lied to me when they again said my e-book was currently available for sale.
And they lied to me when they said there were current issues which I could see in my quality dashboard.
I have to wonder why amazon has suppressed my e-book, and why they keep lying to me about it.
I searched for the title and see it listed.
In order to hopefully “change” america, we have to change history.
On my computer Amazon shows that the paperback is available for $29.95 but that the ebook is not available.
Worked for me as well. No problems
You’re right. I saw both in the search results but didn’t click through. Clicking the link shows a message on the right side saying it’s not available.
Simplest explanation is best: some liberal flagged it, and Amazons systems for reviewing flagged titles are all screwed up.
Well, we’ll, well... do we have here the first indication that we will soon have our FIRST WOOKIEE VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?
Kindle version shows unavailable. So I clicked on Paperback version and it’s available and went into the “cart” without a problem.
I recommend not buying from Amazon. I stopped years ago.
JoMa
I’ve gone in several ways and continue to see the familiar “This title is not currently available for purchase” message. The paperback does indeed appear available.
It is listed - but it says “not available for sale”
Ahhh. “Item Under Review”
Bezos is running your book through a truth detector?
Good luck
“first indication that we will have WOOKIEE VP Candidate”
Ding!
Just now... Kindle edition
“This title is not currently available for purchase”
Yeah, it’s listed, but you can’t buy it. This is the 21st century version of book burning.
In Amazon the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, Probably some damn young transsexual kid and liberal working in Amazon that moved up the ladder to quickly to be a problem solver and doesn’t know what they are doing but Amazon keeps them around for their liberal agenda.
Yep, life goes on, things change and the dust bin of history
gets larger. So be it.
