Sorry if this sounds a bit like a shamless self-promo but I'm trying to get word out about this topic in all of my Goodreads groups (ironic isn't that?)
Authors, are you using your Amazon Author Central Page? Have you even set it up? If not, now you have another reason to do so. Amazon's Shelfari (Amazon bought Shelfari so it's the same company) site is not exactly easy to use but it is magically linked to your Author Central Page -- and it's linked just as magically to the "Book Extras" feature on Kindle readers (devices and apps alike)
Don't know what Book Extras are or how to use them? No problemo. I've done a 2-part blog on this topic over at Webbiegrrl's Wrtings:
Part 1 - What are Book Extras, why and how to use them.
Part 2 - How do Book Bloggers factor into Book Extras? Symbiotic win/win, that's how!
If you're an Author and not already working with Book Bloggers, you really need to wake up and read the missed opportunities here. Or at least get some coffee and learn how to use the Author Central Page because it's only going to get more relevant as time goes on. Amazon might even open up @Author to every Indie (one of these days!) Be prepared!
