Sarah Cypher (sarahcypher) | 2 comments I was pretty sure I uploaded the ebook version of my "The Editor's Lexicon: Essential Writing Terms for Novelists," but when I visit my seller page, it tells me I have no ebooks listed.

I'm reasonably tech savvy, but this one has me stumped. If any of you have encountered the same problem and know what to do, I'd be really grateful to hear from you.

I'm reason..."


Looking at your ebook record, it looks like you selected "Members can only read this ebook for free in their browser." If you want to sell your book, you'd want the radio button directly above that. If you go to your book page, and click edit details, and then click the "edit" link that appears beneath the ebook in the right-hand rail, you should be able to change the settings.

Sarah Cypher (sarahcypher) | 2 comments Thanks, Patrick--I'll check it out. I've fiddled with the settings in the past few days and nothing seems to change the availability, but your answer makes the most sense.

Really appreciate it.

Susan Lerner | 23 comments Hi, I was wondering how to get the link to Amazon to work for my ebook. It seems you can only enter one ISBN, so mine works for B and N, but it doesn't go to Amazon, since each ebook has a different IsBN. Any suggestions?

rivka This book?

It has an edition with the Amazon-specific ASIN (which links to Amazon exactly as it should), as well as the edition with the B&N specific "ISBN".

Susan Lerner | 23 comments Well either I somehow missed it or they just recently put the two editions in (I think it's the latter). Thanks for pointing it out.

rivka Editions from Amazon frequently do get added automagically. :)

Susan Lerner | 23 comments I find many things about the internet to be mystifying and magical. Automagically... that's clever!

Rowena (rowenacherry) | 86 comments Is ASIN short for "asinine"?

rivka Amazon Standard Identification Number

Jonathan Allen (jbausernameistooshort) | 7 comments I have a Kindle kids picture book up on Amazon, and I have an epub format version that i would like to upload here. The issue i am having is that the ebook is just an ebook, it isn't an 'e' version of a physical book. There is no way (that I can find) to upload it here, as because it isn't a physical book there is no physical book entry with an 'upload an ebook' link next to it. So I am stuffed. . .
I may try listing the Amazon ebook manually as a 'book' and then if that works i will have a link to click on. Am I missing something?
thanks,
Jon
