The Kindle version of my book. An Illusion of Trust, was published originally on 19 March 2011. But the cover was changed some time later. Both covers show on the Goodreads site, but I got an error message when I tried to add the ASIN to the new cover addition, saying it was already in use. So now the automatically generated Amazon preview is only visible on the old cover edition, not the current one. Can this be changed?

I don't see a preview on the old edition either. Or do you mean the link to the Amazon book page? That can't be changed, but I have added a librarian note to direct readers to the linked edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thanks, Lethe. I contacted Amazon and was told they have nothing to do with the previews on Goodreads, so I guess there's nothing more that can be done about it.lethe wrote: "I don't see a preview on the old edition either.

Without a valid ASIN # for that edition no you can't get the 'Preview' function. You only have the one ASIN which is tied to the earlier release.
