I have, oh let's say, been know to do things the hard way. I blame my strongly Polish heritage - so does my wife. So, recently I set-about to upgrade three of my four novels. So, I re-edited, added suggested changes, and paid (a very good idea!) to have the ebooks and paperbacks formatted well, and uploaded the whole pile. As I mentioned a post or two ago, I am trying the exclusive Kindle Unlimited route now. So, every day, I check to see if the new versions are live yet. I think I understood the changes would be fairly swift. But every day, I click my bookmarked Amazon links... and nothing. As with most mega-sites, you can't just call or email them questions - Heaven forbid they should be so burdened - so... I wait.
Finally, a little voice in my head says, "Hey, search the books on Amazon and see what happens." Okay, says I in reply. So, I searched "Books" on Amazon for each one. Guess what? Those linked to the refreshed editions. Ah, but... um... why did the old bookmarks I had not link to the new versions? Answer, uh, I don't know. So, I hurriedly doctored-up all my blogs and addenda to my books to reflect the new changes. What a hassle! I guess all's-well-that-ends-well, but why didn't Amazon mention something? Oh well, I'm sorta used to the hard way ; )
