After a few issues with Amazon now, I am starting to dread having any further chats with them. You write it all out, maybe even send the full detail in an email. None of it makes a difference, as they still want to painfully step through a bunch of unnecessary things. It feels like you are in some terrible slow horror movie, where you alone can see what's coming and no one will listen to you, and they all appear to be in B&W and mono, while you are operating in color & surround sound. A dreadfully painful experience. And when they finally get it in the end, you are so grateful, and even though you have been tortured by them, that you thank them with kind friendly words.

in the OP's case it seems obvious where the problem lies: reader wants to buy the book, author wants to sell it to them, but Amazon stands in the way.

I guess that sums it up quite nicely, if rather simplistically all things considered.
