If My book can be reduced so I can afford to purchase?

Kindle - If My book can be reduced so I can afford to purchase?

I need the price of my book should be lower so I can purchase. I have not received any royalties from my book.

I would like for the price to be $4.99 for the soft back and $6.99 for the hardcover. Thanks!

User's recommendation: I would like for the price on my book to lower. I have not received any Royalties from the book. It has gone overseas, therefore my book price should be smaller’

Resolved: Need to cancel last order. Thought it was hard cover book not Kindle

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Amazon needs to be more accessible to consumers. It took many minutes to locate a telephone number.

The matter was resolved, but I am not sure whether I spoke with a person or Alexa. They did follow up with a confirming email.

Pros:
  • Love the surface of being able to read e-books

Preferred solution: Full refund

I have a book that is published on Amazon but I no longer have my old email that I signed up with

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

There was a recording, and then the phone call ended. I didn't get a chance to speak with anyone.

I was trying to report that I have a new book published on Amazon, but the email that I have registered to my Kindle account I no longer have access to. How can I switch all of that over to my new account so that I can have access to my taxes next year?

Cons:
  • I do not want to have to go online

Preferred solution: Decent service someone to help me

To Kindle Legal Dept: I am a longtime,...

AI Highlights
  • - Account inaccessible after a hacked email and payments canceled.
  • - Wants removal and republish under a valid email; rejects a $500 fix.

To Kindle Legal Dept:

I am a longtime, consistent customer of Amazon. Many years ago I published my novel, 'Crazy Girl, the Nightwalker's Journey' on Amazon's self-publishing program (now Kindle) with the help of a friend. The book is currently still on Amazon as available. My pen name of *** is noted as the author.

Please do not direct me to call Kindle Customer Service directly for the following problem. I did that yesterday, and, after explaining the entire problem, was told, 'Yes, no worries, we can certainly fix this for you!' What followed was how they would be able to 'fix' my book by charging me about $500!

At the time when I published this book, my email address was ***. Three years ago, however, that email address was hacked and corrupted, with fraudulent emails being sent to the thousand-plus email addresses on my contact list.

AT&T shut my email address down, and I am unable (and certainly unwilling!) to use it again; instead, I use my Gmail address (***). Thus, I am unable to go into My Bookshelf to edit or remove the book, nor is Amazon/Kindle able to notify me of purchases or send any royalty to my bank account because that was also canceled.

I wish to remove the book and republish using my valid email address. When I filled out the requirements to publish it, I had to enter my SS number. Therefore, I would be able to prove that I am one and the same person as the person (***). If so, please let me know so that I can provide it in a safe format. See below for my contact information.

Customer service doesn't just mean making deliveries on time and taking care of returns. It has to also mean helping someone who, in effect, is being robbed of her ability to use your service through no fault of her own. Please help me with this problem.

Thank you.

*** (***) ***

*** ***

Pros:
  • Self publishing

Preferred solution: I explained my problem already. For publishing on Kindle, I MUST HAVE my email changed and access to the book I published.

User's recommendation: Always go to Customer Service via email for a problem.

Reset password for Kindle Fire 8.0

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I somehow got a virus on my Kindle Fire. I tried and tried to see how I could reset it to the factory settings.

I'm 75 years old and not very tech-savvy. I called the live chat number, and the wonderful rep showed me how to reset the Kindle.

The rep was extremely helpful. I always recommend Kindle.
