They don't like it on Amazon.com if you start plugging your books on these discussion threads. They don't like it at all! I've only been trying it for a couple of days, but today I got an email from them saying this wasn't allowed and that I should desist, or else they'd ban me from the discussion threads. So that's me told. Actually, it was the politest message you could imagine, probably a better message than I could have written. Eff off was not mentioned once. Since I reckon it was by doing this that I was getting an ebook sold every day, I guess the one copy of The Buddha and The Big Bad Wolf I shifted will remain the solitary book sold in America for some time.
The folk who overlook the discussion threads on Amazon.co.uk don't seem to object. I guess they haven't gotten round to it yet. Anyway, it takes up far too much of my precious time. I've listened to a few radio plays recently. Twenty years ago I was really successful at that. If you sell one, you get more than 25p as well!!
A little later.
I've just enrolled all my books in this Kindle Select thing. I don't really know what it means because I couldn't be bothered reading the terms and conditions, I think they let folk borrow your books for nothing for a while and maybe promote it, or something like that.
