My book is still not FREE in other territories such as the UK, India, France, Germany, etc. Is there a similar way out?

Prasenjeet"
I'm not sure about that. Is is available free on other retailers that serve those countries?

Yes, you have to raise the price on B&N and then notify Amazon. They are very quick about removing your book from the free status.

Great, I'm glad my group has helped you get your book listed as free.

Anthea,
Jenny said that she sent you a message through Goodreads, so please check your inbox.

You could just add it to the beginning of your book's description. I've seen it done that way.
Let me know if you need help with that.

James, that is a legitimate way to get Amazon to "price-match" your book. They will send you an email saying that it is up to them whether to offer your book as free, but it is in their best interest. If the book is available as free on B&N they will match the price.

James, I've sent the message to Amazon about your free book.
Jim

Thanks David,
I've added your book to the list.
Jim

Done. Good luck!

Awdhash 's book "From Knowledge to Wisdom" has been reviewed here:

I've removed the book from the list and added Katrina Cope's book, Jayden and the Mysterious Mountain (The Sanctum Series #1).

Looks like it's already free, Jack.

Hi Vincent, your book is currently free on Amazon, so I couldn't report a lower price. Is it in a Free Days promo?

Hi Nasha,
You can still list your book with B&N and have Amazon price-match it. I have a book with CreateSpace and B&N that Amazon has price-matched it so it's perma-free.
