I'm on vacation, so I'll keep this short. I discovered when searching the name of one of my novels on the internet that there are site(s) dedicated to KDP select that are not affiliated with Amazon. That is, the site(s), using the Kindle lending feature you authorized, downloads your book for free. Keeps it indefinitely, offers it to everybody and doesn't police it's two week return and of course sends you no royalty.
This brings up another question. Look at the goods and services offered on Amazon. Nobody gives their stuff away for free except writers.
DO WE DEVALUE OURSELVES AND OUR HARD WORK SO MUCH THAT WE SEE NO VALUE IN IT?
If we don't value our work, who will?
Since I'm in a bad mood now. Look at the value of typically a year's work. Price it and compare it to the recommended $2.99.
Conclusion, our sales are down, we work for peanuts and somebody is stealing our peanuts other than that have a great day. I will, because I'm going to change the way I perceive myself and the fruit of my creative labor.
Love ya,
Bob
