Help us correct an Amazon glitch

I hope to get back later to catch up and to mourn the passing of a literary giant, Toni Morrison. I am about to head off now to see my own miracle worker, my chiropractor. But first I wanted to ask a favor of you all. Many of you share my pleasure in reading Priscilla Royal’s excellent medieval mystery series. She was alerted recently that Amazon is no longer offering an ebook version of her first novel, Wine of Violence. She contacted Amazon about the problem, with no reply so far. Unfortunately, other writers have told me that Amazon is notoriously slow to respond to author queries about their books. And since Wine of Violence is the first in the mystery series, it is essential that it be available as an ebook. So here comes the favor. I am enclosing a link to the Amazon page that offers the option of expressing a wish to read this book as a Kindle. If Amazon gets enough of a response, that may stir them to action. So Priscilla and I would be grateful if you could follow this link to Amazon and then click onto the option requesting Wine in the Kindle format. It is on the right-hand side of the screen, under the Product Details on the left, and says Tell The Publisher. That is all you need to do….vote with one click! And if you want to share this post with other book=loving friends, that would be truly awesome.

Stephanie Done! I hope she gets it straightened out soon.


message 2: by Ladyhawk (new)

Ladyhawk I tried to locate the phrase "Tell the Publisher", but could not locate it. I did buy the audio book however. ;o)

Sharon Thanks, Stephanie. So many writers have told me it is difficult to get Amazon to correct a glitch like this. it can be very frustrating.


message 4: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Thank you, Ladyhawk. That was a favorite film of mine. The option is in a small box to the right of the screen; you have to scroll down past the Product Details, which appears on the left side of the screen. I think you will enjoy Wine of Violence. Priscilla's research is comprehensive and her characters are always firmly rooted in the MA, which is important to me when I am reading a historical novel.


Peggyzbooksnmusic I have this on Kindle but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I did click on the "Want to Read on Kindle" option today but it was on the right side of the product page. Hope this gets sorted out! A shame that Amazon would drop the first in a series on Kindle!

Sharon Occasionally these glitches happen, Peggy, but unfortunately it takes much too long to correct it. We're hoping this might jump-start the process. :-)


message 7: by Jeanne (new)

Jeanne I did this but wow, you have to bounce all over the page to get to the right area in order to request the publisher offer this book on Kindle - they aren't making this easy!


message 8: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Done!


message 9: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Thanks so much for the help. I love the way we book lovers stick together like this!


message 10: by Vi (new)

Vi Hi Sharon,
I couldn't find it when I was using my phone but when I used my laptop I saw it.
I hope Amazon will fix it for Priscilla soon.

I read mostly on my Kindle nowadays.


message 11: by Anne (new)

Anne I wanted to start reading her books too and noticed her first book wasn't on Kindle so I have done it too. Hope Amazon take notice soon


message 12: by Candace (new)

Candace Done!

Loretta I already have this on my Kindle, however, I checked it out and it seems to be available again, now.
