Kick-off link – Amazon’s chaotic storage.
When I first self-published, the very first book, years went into the text itself. Then I embarked upon the adventure of trying to sell the book. Amazon had a deal at the time, I could get books shipped to them, and Amazon would warehouse the books. Since then, the process has streamlined, it’s Amazon ordering print-on-demand straight from the printer. Anymore, I just use the Amazon service, as it is, for printing and fulfillment.
The rapid sense of change in the publishing world, I paid, I think, $20 each for my first ten ISBN numbers, all of those numbers now adroitly adorn yearly collections, at this point. Makes me even more legal. Legitimate.
I never responded quick enough, but Amazon destroyed my last copy they had in stock. Probably in one of those warehouses?
