New Amazon Rules on eBook Bonus Content - Indies Unlimited

Panzer was cleaning out the Panzermobile when he saw something stuffed under the passenger headrest. Pulling it out our fastidious kitty found a wadded up post. Smoothing it out, he discovered it was a post from the Indies Unlimited site about ebook bonus content.

According to Lynn Cantwell, Amazon (finally) began cracking down on Chance Carter one of the big-time book stuffers. Panzer told you about book stuffing last month. It's when authors put extra ebooks and stories into an ebook in Amazon Select to expand the length of the book. Then the author includes a link at the beginning of the book to get the reader to click to the end. Amazon then pays the author as if the whole book was read. This post explains the things an author needs to do to make sure she/he isn't breaking Amazon's new Terms of Service when adding legitimate bonus material. There are links included in the post to information on what constitutes book stuffing.

After all that work I need a nap.

Panzer says, "This little kitty knows this is a June post, but the information about the proper way to play by Amazon's rules makes it worth the read."

Note: This is a medium post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
