Notification of books sold
General Interest

It would be nice to have an option that when book has been sold blurb notifies you. A simple tick box and an automated email saying you sold another book. It might be nice to have an option for the buyer to give their email address so we can send a thank you note.

What do you think?

Why must I buy a book before it can be published?
General Interest

Whoa! I just got the book I mistakenly ordered. It is way different that the hardback version. Way different. The colors in the paperback are mottled and there is a hatch mark like grid that is faintly seen over all the images. It really looks like it was printed on a completely different press. Had I gotten this quality from the first order I would never had reordered.

Question:

Do they do some sort of different printing process for paperback verses hardback? There is no comparison between these two books. Both printed from the same upload version.

Disheartened,
Matt

I completely agree with gcjones here. I does not make sense that the author has to buy the book first to make it public. Why can’t anyone buy it?

I thought I bought the 3rd edition of my book after I uploaded it. But later when the site told me I only have 7 days left before they erase my book, I quickly realized I must have bought the first edition, ouch! Now I have an older edition of my book that has the errors and other issues I fixed in the latest edition, on the way to me, and my newer version is still waiting to go public. This is frustrating.
