Mary Moore (marycarrollmoore) | 17 comments I also wondered if you can help get the cover image up for the Kindle version of this book. Thank you.

Mary Moore (marycarrollmoore) | 17 comments I am trying to update the description of two of my books. Your knowledge base says to "just navigate to the book's page and click on edit details below the book's description." I'm not finding the "edit details" below the book's description on either of these two book pages. Can you help please?

gem | 2622 comments Hi Mary,

Can you confirm you are:
1) logged in to your author account (not normal user/member account)
2) on a desktop browser, not the mobile app

Also, the guide I linked says "click on the edit data link in the lower right side of the box containing the book or author's information" -- not below the book description.

Here's a screenshot of where the "edit details" button appears for me as a Librarian -- under the book rating, not under the book description. However I don't know if it appears in the same spot for Librarians as it does authors.

Mary Moore (marycarrollmoore) | 17 comments Hi Gem,

I believe I'm logged into my author account because I can access my author dashboard. And yes, I'm on a laptop browser, not a mobile app.

Here's a screenshot of what my book page looks like. I don't have that "edit details" button.

Still stumped on this . . .

gem | 2622 comments You linked to the book page, not a screenshot image. Can you update the link? I'm curious to see it.

I'm also stumped why you can't see an edit button. I verified that you are correctly listed as the author for all editions of the book you linked.

I went ahead and updated the cover and description of Kindle edition to match the Amazon listing. Please note book page may take a day to fully update due to site caching.
