@dvewlsh It's been a while since I took this out of storage: http://www.teleread.com/amazon-punk-ethos-self-pub/
@dvewlsh @felix I had a Fussy Librarian promo this week. Amazon wouldn't price match everyone else (due to technical difficulties, apparently). I still managed to get 158 downloads that day – but not from Amazon.
And I did something different in response: I told my subscribers it was free but that Amazon wouldn't play ball. I suggested they get it from Payhip instead. In one day, I had 30 downloads from Payhip (a huge number for me).
@felix What's funny is it's still accurate years later.
They still do all of that shit. Like, for example, they're fucking with a few of my prices. An $8.99 ebook is $6.73. I've asked them to fix it multiple times.
A $4.99 ebook is $4.04.
If I didn't need money I'd cut them off completely.
