This crap happens ALL. THE. TIME. it's like, some of them have never seen a book cover, and you see them publish landscape covers, or squares, or what-have-you. Some seem to have never read an actual book.

I swear, this sort of thing is bloody killing me.

Spoiler:
We had a client post on the KDP forums, asking people who some book on Amazon "was made." A regular old ebook, right? I posted and asked him, "what feature are you asking about?" I was trying to figure out, WTF? I responded, saying, "it's a regular old ebook. Honestly, looks like it was uploaded in Word format, no big thing here." I asked him, AGAIN, what he was askign about. Now, mind you--anyone else that tries to figure out what this bozo is talking about will discover that he's had his ebooks MADE BY US, right? FINALLY, after posting something literally incomprehensible, he asks why this other company's ebooks have images that zoom---when he doesn't. My d*mn head almost Exorcisted right off my neck--I replied, you
DO. I had to take screenshots, to prove to him that his images zoomed. FIVE d*mn books we've done for this guy. I wish people would actually try to occasionally access the d*mn melon on the top of their necks, I truly do.


I realize that this is small beans, compared to people having their lives, their homes, wiped out in hurricanes and earthquakes, though, of course. That being said, it's my world, locked in here with the loonies, and it's making me
