Dickloraine – Got me, I set it up the best I could, split it in thirds, seemed fair. And it happened to be about seven dollars and the book is basically about sevens. Yes, cheap more sales. I also don't understand hype, I can watch a thousand Pepsi commercials and use Coke every time with bourbon. A huge crowd could all jump up and down and order a Jack and Pepsi and I'll order what I like. Yes, I know it is 'them' who buy and who cares what I think. It is eight months old, are you saying it doesn’t matter you only get the Andy Warhol fifteen minutes once and one should give them away for a time to generate hype and people who really wouldn’t read your book will because everyone else seems to be?

I'm totally on my own, hey I figure why not just stay that way. I'm really good at rolling sevens when told it is the right time, learned from one of the best backgammon players.

Hitch – Why so abrasive? You obviously know your business, I'm new to this, sort of. I was just asking how to do this, thought you all would point me in the right direction and figure it out. Amazon has plenty of money, what's wrong with instructing me a bit on how to sell my book myself online? See, I don't see why we are discussing something totally different. Not that I don't appreciate the input , I'm sure you have plenty to learn from.

I was talking about not getting anymore information from Amazon beyond the contract... I read enough of it to know I'm not sure you understand it either. It is open ended : they and they only can change the rules any time they want and it is up for you to read and understand all the updates to said contract endlessly. This is like playing with a little kid making up the rules to the card game as you go. Ask your attorney, if I'm wrong you can make me feel like I'm on defense for asking for information.

I don't know what PD is... https://archive.org/ when I pick a 1880 scholarly book it has major problems like not being able to distinguish between the text and the foot notes, and words like 000098100000B, maybe this is what Amazon is tired of aka people selling stuff that is no good.

Doesn't Createspace use OCR?PD? I think they do, why would you send me there? eschwartz said to learn html and other stuff, which I have a lot better understanding of now. Optical Recognition doesn't understand words that aren’t in dictionaries per se, it is impossible. It is going to put out the digits alike I already demonstrated.

Library : it is from many sources, I can't recall... Library review board... Oh, if you sign in on amazon you can basically jump around all you want (depending on how the contract floats around) and extract information from just about any book, I've done it many times, mainly because I may really want to read it as a real paper book, but can't afford them all and it helps on prudence.
