Dark Ape (dark-ape) | 3 comments I was creating a series list when I noticed some problems with There’s a Cat Girl in my Cubicle!: Volume 2: A Slice of Life Office Adventure where the ASIN did not match Amazon's. Since this causes linkage problems between Amazon and Goodreads I tried to fix it, but the ASIN apparently gets locked now and is no longer editable if it has an Amazon match. Since I couldn't edit Book 2's details, I reacted a new Kindle edition with the fixed ASIN and merged them.

When I investigated a bit I found that Book 4 shows as a valid e-book with 0 pages, but it will likely get updated with a new ASIN with an actual page count. I don't know if that is true, but if so it will cause some problems later on once it gets released next year. Also, what is the policy here? Should we add unpublished Kindle books to Goodreads? Most have actual data (real synopsis and page counts), but this is a weird situation and I am not sure if it is a problem or not since I don't know enough.

Both GR records link straight to a valid Amazon page for me.

Unpublished books should never he added to GR.
