AFAIK, that cannot be done by the publisher. It's AMAZON that decides that a book is restricted to devices XYZ. You're thinking of the CSS; I'm talking about the actual sales on the website, the sales page that says "available on these devices."

Believe me, kids--I just went through this rodeo with a customer--THIS VERY CUSTOMER, the guy that was the subject of this thread--about how his fury with me is not about the links inasmuch that it cannot be purchased on eInks. Amazon's own Help pages say that they will "selectively" allow certain PR files to be purchased on eInks (like the Debbie Harry book, which was a fracking disaster, made with the Kids' Book Creator program), and all that.

As far as I know, there's no way that any INDY publisher can tell Amazon to restrict sales to Device X. I've never even seen that option for PR books--they simply go through and then it's Amazon that restricts the viewability on the Sales page.

Little.Egret, do you have contrary info????? I'd love to know it, truly.
