Nightingale Correction Fail: Life Hack



I am so upset. After promising me a fix, for 1/29-30 corrected download, Amazon downloaded Bond Proof! Again.

Rather than wait for Amazon to attempt to correct this, with the aid of a reader, I have found a workaround.

















1. Delete the bad Nightingale from your Kindle.
2. Repurchase (I’ve returned Nightingale to the pre-order price of $3.99).
3. Apply to Amazon for a credit for the double-purchase.
4. If Amazon refuses the credit, let me know. When it releases, I will send a gift copy of Bond Proof to even it out.

Thank you for reading the Twelve Systems Chronicles.

Thank you. And I agree. The first time was bad enough, but stuff happens. Twice? *facepalm*

Nyctophilia I tried this, and it didn't work... but I think I have a fix for you.

This is how to edit and push an update for your book. You can edit your book at any time, even after publishing... which means you can take down the Bond Proof copy and upload the Nightingale copy, and then push the update, and we'll all get the new one you send.

Hope this helps! :) (Really looking forward to reading Nightingale - reading Bond Proof early was a treat, but the beginning didn't make a lot of sense without knowing what happened in Nightingale).

Thank you. That is the process I'm following. It still requires Amazon to initiate the push -- which they agreed to do and then failed at. My latest update came this morning and had nothing to do with my books.

When I pointed that out, they apologized and said they were still working on the problem.

The offer of an ARC, stands.

E.G. Manetti Amazon is still 'working hard on the problem' and has not time for correction in sight. Please email me at eg@egmanetti.com and I will send an ARC.

Nyctophilia Thank you. Sending the email now.

Nyctophilia I received the email. I'm reading right now about the usefulness of mud. Thank you SO much!

Be well
