Clark Nielsen (clarknielsen) | 5 comments Hi, I'm a new author here and just noticed a few issues with my listed books. Could somebody help me out with these?

The e-book version of The Second Page needs to be updated with the newest cover and description, found on Amazon.

My other book, Yes China!, also has an e-book version, but it hasn't been listed on Goodreads yet. Can it be added? Here's the Amazon link for reference.

Thanks for your help.

I took care of the second (all that was needed was to search on GR using the Kindle edition's ASIN -- it imported and combined automatically).

I'm rather puzzled about the first, as the two images look identical to me.

Clark Nielsen (clarknielsen) | 5 comments If you look at the larger images, there's a noticeable difference in quality between the two.

Thanks for importing the e-book so quickly.

The one on GR is imported from (actually, hosted by) Amazon. If you have a higher quality image, you can (as the book's author) edit the book and upload it.

Clark Nielsen (clarknielsen) | 5 comments What I meant by higher quality was that the paperback's cover was a complete redraw of the e-book's, and it looked a lot better. But the new cover is showing up now. I didn't realize I was allowed to edit book details, though, so thanks for pointing that out.

Hey rivka, slight off topic here, but how do you search by ASIN? I have tried numerous times to import Audible edition of audiobooks but it never finds them. I've tried by specifying Goodreads as well as Amazon with the same results. Is there a specific formatting I should be using? (Currently I've been adding them all manually.)

Search-and-import by ASIN only works for Kindle edition. (And every so often, won't even for one of them.)

Random (rand0m1s) | 56 comments Ah well, one could hope. Back to manual adds for me. :)
