Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) They are both the same edition. The oldest one has reviews but no Amazon link; the newest one (which shows the series name) has the link but no reviews. Can these be combined? Thanks very much!

Codex | 3400 comments Kindle and paperback editions combined.

➤ Please note that (promotional) advertising, quotations of others’ views of a work, and links to external websites are not allowed in Goodreads book descriptions. Such content has been removed from the description of both editions.

Okay, fair enough. Thanks so much for doing that and responding so quickly! You guys are the best.

Now, just one more little problem: the Amazon link doesn't seem to be working to bring the Goodreads browser to my Amazon book page. Could somebody have a look at that please?

Thanks ever so much!

Sandra | 31406 comments The Amazon link worked for me for the kindle edition. Doesn't look like the paperback is listed on Amazon yet. Do you have the ISBN 13, as it isn't listed on your book yet.

The link is set up by each member so it is not something that librarians can 'fix'.

Were you looking at Online Stores or Book Links? For me it only works for online stores.

Hmmm. I clicked on the Online Stores link and it said that page couldn't be found. I will go back and try again. Thank you!

Also, the paperback version isn't published yet and I do have a 13-digit isbn for that one.

That is what it did for me on the paperback edition. And that is because it isn't listed on Amazon yet.


message 8: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) Ohhhh... okay, I think I finally understand. The two versions were for the eBook and a paperback that doesn't exist yet! Unfortunately, after merging now it looks like the one version I can see still doesn't link browsers to my Amazon eBook page :(. I'm sorry to be such a pest, but I need my Goodreads page to feature the eBook with the Amazon link and all the reviews, can you help please?


message 9: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) Here is my book link:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y4DGLQ4

Sandra | 31406 comments Rosemary, I already said I can link to your kindle edition.

And I also said that it is up to members to configure their own lists. Librarians cannot set up other members book links.

If you go to your kindle edition book page can you link to your kindle edition?


message 11: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) I'm sorry, I find a lot of this stuff confusing. I see only one book showing and it's the paperback one. Nowhere do I see a kindle book edition.

I can't understand why a paperback copy was even put up on Goodreads as I have not yet published a paperback. I have just published an eBook only. Can you possibly undo all this and give me my eBook page back with the link to Amazon and all the reviews? Thanks ever so much!


message 12: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) Okay I see... published by Createspace in February. I didn't think that the paperback version was published yet as I had not opened any sales channels for it. Last night Amazon approved my eBook, though. Sorry, it's very confusing. Right now only the eBook is available but there's no eBook page I can see and no link.


message 13: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) Okay just bear with me... still on the learning curve, lol. I saw that I can click to show all editions and now I see my eBook version. The question is, which one does a Goodreads person see when looking at my page?

Thanks for your patience!


message 14: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) Also the link does work on the eBook version, thanks very much!

The kindle edition is the current default view that shows on your author profile page.


message 16: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary Cole (rosemarycole) Yes, I finally figured out how to set it as the primary. Thanks for all your help, guys! It's all sorted now
