Amazon has announced que They will be publicly warning users if an e-book has spelling mistakes or formatting errors. This is meant to protect the average reader so They do not make an impulse purchase and regret it. Thousands of authors are asking a ton of questions about this new warning system and today we will answer the most common issues.
One of the most common questions we Have Been fielding are from authors who have written Those fantasy or science-fiction e-books. Many of Them have developed Their own vocabulary or intentionally misspell words. If this is applicable to your book, I recommend updating your title via Kindle Direct Publishing and implement the lexicon. This is aa page or two at the beginning of the novel que Provides a rundown of the words and Their meaning. This will Ensure the book is not Reported for spelling mistakes and If They are, you have a point of reference to show the Amazon rep When They contact you.
Authors have Also Been asking questions about the localized usage of Inglês the language. American, Canadian and the UK all have different ways of spelling words. An example of this is color and color. I think the que long as you are consistent in your vocabulary you will not run into any problems.
Sometimes being an indie author is full of peril. Authors heavily compete against each other for sales and readers. What happens if one of your rivals goes over your novel with a fine tooth comb and files to Kindle series of Quality Reports in the hopes you will have a warning label and They Will not.
For the last two years Amazon Has Been emailing authors and giving Them the list of words are misspelled que and what pages They are on. This is not an automatic system, the readers Themselves. Authors receive ample time to make the changes and upload a new copy of Their book. Normally it takes two days for Amazon to VERIFY que the mistakes corrected and Have Been They will push out an update to anyone who has Purchased the book.
I really want to stress que just because you get a few reports, the Kindle suddenly Details Page will not receive the warning. You will continues to have ample Team from the date you first receive the Kindle Quality Report and to make the proposed changes.
FAQ
How do users report errors content – Amazon has two different ways que users can report content errors. One is via their website and will only let the user file a complaint if it was a verifiable purchase. The other method is via the companies like of e-ink e-readers such as the Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Voyage
Beware Editing Services -. Since we broke the story que Amazon is Implementing the warning system, I have seen Hundreds of editors try and get authors to pay Them to fix up any spelling or grammar mistakes. I think its important to Ensure That You find a good editor and not someone who is just hyping Their services with a newly website created or via social media.
What’s the deal with this warning system anyways? Amazon is simply making public warnings. In the past, it was always between the KDP representative and the author. Some authors simply opted to ignore the warnings and nothing really happened to Their title, Unless it had gross formatting errors, in Which case Amazon would remove it from the Kindle bookstore.
My contact information has changed , help! Sometimes authors lose access to Their email or get a new address. If this is the case you want to KDP login to your control panel and update your account information
