H.R. Kemp (hrkempauthor) | 9 comments I have just noticed that when I click on the links to buy my book, they lead only to a search. Deadly Secrets has ISBNs for the paperback, kindle and ePub versions.
Paperback ISBN-13: 9780648766308
ISBN-10: 0648766306
Kindle eBook (Mobi) ISBN: 9780648766322
ASIN B0868DKCYP
eBook (ePub): 9780648766315

My book is available through Amazon, Kobo, Draft2Digital and is also distributed by Ingram Sparks.

How do I amend the links to take people directly to where they can purchase my book?
thanks

I've just realised that my kindle eBook appears twice, once with ISBN and ASIN and once with ISBN only and noted as an ebook. There is also a defunct ISBN listed - 9780648766339 which is no longer available.
At the moment I have 6 editions listed, 2 which have no cover photo, (one of those has no data). There should only be 3 a paperback, a Kindle eBook and an ePub. Am I able to delete those that are superfluous?

Book links to other sites are customized on a per-user basis (each user chooses theirs), not a per-book basis.

H.R. Kemp (hrkempauthor) | 9 comments But even the Amazon links don't work. All the links simply go to a search function rather than go to my book, they don't connect to where they can buy my kindle or paperback versions even (let alone the ePub).

lethe | 16359 comments For me, the paperback links to Amazon and from there I can go to the Kindle edition.

I don't understand why the Kindle edition does not link directly to Amazon but gives a "page not found", since the ASIN is correct.

Two ebook editions (9780648766315 and 9780648766339) link correctly to ebook sites.

Lastly, the Mobi ebook (9780648766322). I don't know enough of ebooks to know if this is exclusive to Kindle and therefore should be merged with the Kindle edition, or if this format is also available on other ebook sites.

H.R. Kemp (hrkempauthor) | 9 comments Thank you. Yes, there is a duplicate of the mobi file, so the one without the front cover needs to be removed. I'll check the links again. Thanks for your help.

H.R. Kemp (hrkempauthor) | 9 comments Also, the ISBN ePub 9780648766339 is no longer available and needs to be removed too. thanks again.

People like to catalogue books they own or read.
