See? What'd I say? Steely-eyed missile man.

Dag, that is downright inspired. Never crossed my mind. I mean, crappity, they seem to never balk at TNR, so...<shrug>.

I agree that it's a single intake process, via KDP. No argument. I don't know if there's anything else, once it moves to the PW (Publishing Workflow), but...I wouldn't be completely surprised if they had different "checks" in place for all sorts of qualifiers, whether by genre (presumably, they check things like Cookbooks for "freely available on the web" and erotica for, well...stuff) or input format.

Never even thought of that.

Still no update, by the way, my brethren. We asked "Are you sure...?" and we've not heard a whisper since. Makes me suspect an ePUB was loaded, but... I can't prove that the dead silence is due to mens rea. (And, man, they RIPPED our client about how "dreadful" it looked, too!)
