Hilarious, it seems Amazon has become a caricature of the indie book publishing movement that it help started. So Amazon has become a tool for the big 6, haha no surprise there. So much for supporting the little guy during hard times, seems like Vampirzon has drained all the juice the from it’s KDP Select program. Now it’s time to court the fat cats, lol.
Really great post for exposing the hypocrisy, thanks investigative reporter Lada! 😀
Wh…wha….what? Getting your very own book category on Amazon???? Yeah, right, you say. As it stands right now, KDP (Amazon indie publishing platform) is missing even mainstream categories to list some of our books accurately, as I found out during my free promo a few days ago.

Hey Maddey, how ya been?
I guess that will be for those aiming to have a book category. I am an impassioned doodler. Or do I say an unambitious enthusiast?
