Amazon is Shutting Down Its Crowd-Sourcing Platform, Kindle Scout - The Digital Reader

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when all of a sudden the Panzermobile was buffeted by crying and screaming. When our brave kitty boy got control of the Panzermobile again, he followed all the noise to The Digital Reader site. With no digging at all he discovered a post about the Kindle Scout platform was causing all the mayhem.

According to The Digital Reader site owner Nat Hoffelder, Amazon announced through an email that it's shutting down the Kindle Scout platform. Mr. Hoffelder's post includes an email Amazon sent to Kindle Scout voters about the platform's closure. Kindle Scout is/was a site where authors could submit their manuscripts and people could read and vote for the one they would like to see published.  Effective April 3 the platform won't accept any new submissions or voter/members. Once all the voting is finished on current submissions the site will shut down.

Mom found out from somebody else's  site.

Panzer says, "Mom is a Kindle Scout voter. Why didn't she get an email saying KS is closing down?"
