So in simple terms, it's a real mess.

Kate Daniel's Magic Bites
Jennifer Crusie's Bet Me

That should make the Agency 6 publishers so happy--it means Amazon won't have a monopoly on the market for those titles! What a simple and elegant solution to Amazon's attempts to "destroy bookselling;" if Amazon doesn't sell those books at all, they can't drive the competition out of existence!

Followup: Wow, it's not just mainstream books. Indie authors have been hit, too. Ellen O'Connell's other books are still listed, but her most recent one has "no pricing information available" for the Kindle. Huh.

All ebook content is still unavailable to me at this moment. "Not currently available" and "not available to customers of the U.S." are the messages I see.

Everything seems to be normal in the UK Kindle Store.

Billi · 03-27-2012, 05:03 PM

Yep, in the German Kindle Store, too, everything seems normal.

murraypaul · 03-27-2012, 05:05 PM

Seems to be back to normal on the US store now too.

DiapDealer · 03-27-2012, 05:07 PM

Phew!!
That was a scary 30 minutes or so just there.

We're not out of the woods yet. This was but a precursor to 122112.

BeccaPrice · 03-27-2012, 05:14 PM

a lot are still down for me (4:14 EST).

frahse · 03-27-2012, 05:16 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We just went through a little turbulence there,
but we are still on schedule to land at 8:30PM.
Your attendants will be offering ice tea at
half price with a free package of banana chips.

Remember fly with Amazon. We appreciate
the business.

Just came here to talk about my comic having its availability removed for US customers.

Yeah it's back up now, that was odd.
