Editio Self-Publishing discussion

There's a thread in another group for authors to seek each other's help in reporting a lower price to Amazon, but it's almost moribund. Could we start such a thread here?

I could really use a few folks informing Amazon that my novel Twin-Bred, which used to be free on Amazon and somehow ceased to be, is still free on other vendors' sites. If you're not familiar with the procedure, here's how it works: you go to a book's Amazon page, scroll down to just above Customer Reviews, and click on the "tell us about a lower price?" link. Then you paste in the link to the website with the lower price and fill in the selling and shipping prices.

Twin-Bred's Amazon page is at http://www.amazon.com/Twin-Bred-Karen.... It's free at the following:

Nook Store: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/twin-...

Kobo: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/eboo...

I'd be happy to return the favor for anyone in a similar situation. Thanks for any assistance you can give me!

I thought you set the price for your book on Amazon.

V, one sets the price within certain limits. Amazon can change the price whenever they like, according to their mysterious algorithms and whims. One factor is what other vendors are charging for the book -- hence the link whereby you can tell them about a lower price elsewhere. That's currently the only chance (outside of the five-days-in-90 giveaway that comes with the exclusivity of Kindle Select) to have a book available on Amazon for free. (I say "currently" in the hope that nothing has changed recently to make price-matching inapplicable to free ebooks.)
