Combined books for different ISBNs, but book links still not working

[Sharyn]

My primary edition is Kindle, the book link works for Amazon.
My book is on Smashwords also, so I created a new entry with the Smashwords ISBN and combined the entries.

I thought the Smashwords book link would then work like magic. It doesn't. It still uses the Amazon asin, so the link has a 404 error. I have no idea how to change this.

In addition, the first entry in "Get a copy" is Bookworld which doesn't work either and I don't know how to change that either.

All help appreciated. Thanks

The Amazon link will only work from the Amazon edition on Goodreads. Likewise, the Smashwords link will only work from the Smashwords edition. Both are working as they should.

Oh. Okay, thanks. I misunderstood how it was supposed to work when they were combined.

And is there a way to change the Bookworld link?

[lafon حمزة]

Those links are customizable by each user. Also, Bookworld has to have a copy of that book on the website for it to work (it doesn't look like they do).

"Those links are customizable by each user."

That's great. Can you please explain how I change it or point me to instructions. I don't even know what to call it to look for a help page.

This is actually a Feedback Group issue, but the way to do it is to go to 'edit profile'. After that click on the 'Book Links' tab, and set which ones you want from the list on the right-hand side.

Thanks, I appreciate you trying to help, but I already only have Amazon and Smashwords listed under 'Book Links', but below my book entry it shows:

Get a copy: Bookworld | Online Stores | book links

The links under 'Online stores' and 'book links' reflect my choices. I have no idea where 'Bookworld' is coming from or how to change it.

I will try and find the Feedback Group to ask this if this isn't the right place.

You cannot change the book world one, that button is controlled by GR and is different for different groups. The button in that position for me is Amazon UK

Thanks Paula!!

Ugh. Silliness when the button doesn't work!

But at least I can stop obsessively trying to fix it now...
