combining books.

[Louise]

I'm trying to update an old book with a newer version, and I need a librarian. Anyone around to help me, please?

Pretty please?

[Elle]

i~

[Elle]

I can't see any to combine?

[Elle]

If you just add the book I'll combine it when you have it done. Don't delete the older version though.

[Louise]

That's the thing. I can't add the new one because it says 'already exists'.
This is the old one: Eden

The new one is: http://amzn.to/MzcXgA but how can I get it from Amazon to here if GR says it already exists?

Or am I being thick?

[Elle]

When is the new one published? & by who

[Andrew]

It's a little OT, but I have to ask. I once contributed a short story to the anthology Shelf Life - is there any way I can add myself as a contributing author?

[Elle]

Done Andrew

[Andrew]

Wow thanks! It was a fantastic project to be involved with, and my first appearance in a hardback, so it's awesome to have it on the author profile :)

[Elle]

No problem!

[Elle]

Wait, Louise do you mean an actual brand new published version or just a new cover?

[Louise]

It's the same book (ish), but it's been updated with a new cover, blurb etc.

I published it on Amazon (the paper back now longer exists.)

[Elle]

KDP you mean?

Gimme the exact dates

[Elle]

You also might want to combine your profiles

[Elle]

Wait. I think I've double it.


Is there an older Kindle edition as well?

[Louise]

There's a paperback version which can't be bought any more, and that's what's showing here.I want the Kindle version in it's place.

And yes, I've two profiles now! Agh! Two of me. Horrible!

It is probably best to leave the paperback there, because some people may have that version. I know that I prefer my book list to have the correct version & I am quite particular about the cover being the same as my own copy too.

[Elle]

Right so now I'm so confused.

When I went into your book there is already a Kindle version there.

Are you saying you need 2 versions to be there.

1: a kindle

2: a paperback.



Janet is right. The paperback MUST stay. This isn't an authors thing. This is a GR thing. All books must stay unless they are direct doubles.


You already had a Kindle version well before I appeared, so I don't know what you are asking. I can update the Kindle cover if you wish?

[Elle]

I've updated the cover of the Kindle version and now you have 1 paperback, 1 kindle.


To my understanding, this is now correct

[Louise]

Louise-Lesley - Thank you! You've added my eBook of Eden and that's all I wanted and was trying to say (rather badly!).


This can't be bought (being updated) but can. Brilliant. Thank you.

[Elle]

We got there in the end lol!

I keep looking at this thread title and thinking of that fad a few years ago for food combining. Anyone remember it? You could only eat carbs with carbs and protein with protein, I think. How boring.

Good for Elle, the problem solver!
