my first ebook.Tonight, March 28, I uploaded a clean copy. I also emailed Kindle Support to see if they automatically notify purchasers that an updated copy of the book is available. It should be live by Wednesday at the latest so wait until then to buy please.
I don't know how Amazon works the publication of updates. I sometimes receive emails from Amazon telling me to reply with YES if I want to download a corrected copy. Anyone out there know if this is completely automated or does the writer have to notify someone to do this?
So if you bought my book and got the first release version, let me know, and I'll figure out how you get the updated clean copy. When I get the info from Kindle Support, I'll post it here so we'll all know in the future.
Takeaway Truth
Another learning experience. Yippee!
Excited to see your new work. When I get a Kindle, I'll be sure to get a copy.
ReplyDeleteIce! Long time no see! How are you?
ReplyDeleteThanks! The books are sexy, funny romances, but I will be publishing a mystery series with the first book out this year -- I hope.
Wait until after April 1 to get the book if you want it. I made a huge Charlie Foxtrot of uploading. I've got everything corrected now, but the new upload won't take effect until probably April 1.
I appreciate the support. Btw, you can get Kindle ap for just about anything from smartphone to PC and get Kindle books that way too.
Hope you are doing well. Don't be a stranger!
Best wishes,

When I updated my Kindle ebook, fixing a conversion artifact that shows up if using Word for the Mac, my friend -- who noticed the problem in the first place -- was neither notified, nor able to download the new version. Apparently it took 20 minutes of talking with about 3 reps, on the number that the kindle rep gave me, to get my little 99c thing updated.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I emailed KDP support and received a response a few days later. They said they would notify purchasers of the updated version.
ReplyDeleteThen purchasers would have to reply YES if they wanted the new vesion downloaded to their Kindle.
I've received such notifications in the past.
Best wishes,

I finally received a notification today that there was a new version, with typos corrected, available for download.
ReplyDeleteI had originally purchased it on March 28. It only took them 17 weeks to notify me. Hurray!
