Has this every happened to anyone?
I uploaded an update to my relatively new ebook on KDP. It's a guide to help homeschooling parents in PA navigate the law. I expected the update to stay in "draft" or "review" for 12-24 hours. I just got an email saying my book is under review....here's the beginning of the message: "During a review of your KDP submission(s), we found content in your book is freely available on the web. To confirm you have publishing rights to this content, and that you control where you distribute the book(s), please take one of the following actions:"
While information about and the text of the PA homeschooling law is freely available on the web, this form and the organization of it is NOT. While others might agree with my interpretation of certain provisions that are vague, how I presented it is my own.
I do have a corresponding website and some of the content (sections or chapters of the book) are presented as articles on the website but the organization of each is different. I have heard of plenty of people collecting blog articles and presenting them in an ebook. Is this what Amazon is getting at?
I'm slightly worried that they'll impose a ban on me but I'm certain the content is unique and not available anywhere else in this form unless someone pirated it. For example, there are a few websites that discuss how to go about filing an affidavit, which is fairly straightforward, I'm certain that my form and my explanation of the reason I file this certain form to meet that requirement is truly my own.
Any thoughts?
