Amazon Damaging Sales of Small Press Books - Lucy A. Snyder Blog

Panzer had hardly made it into the Catosphere when the Panzermobile was shaken and shoved about by growling and hissing. Following all the caterwauling took our brave kitty to Lucy A. Snyder's blog. With no digging at all he discovered a post about an Amazon author crackdown was causing all the trouble.

I'm confused.
According to Lucy A. Snyder's post on her blog, her most recent book has been caught up in the Amazon "Not Available" black hole. Amazon has been cracking down on scamming authors, but, unfortunately, some innocent indie authors and publishers are also being caught in their net as well. Included in the post are quotes from an editor and others who believe Amazon is purposely targeting and punishing them by removing their pre-order sales and making their books "Not Available."

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This little kitty thinks this is part of Amazon's rule changes and crackdown on scammers he told you about July."

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection.
