Trouble Shooting Reviews and Kindle Downloads
​
Two main issues come up when it comes to Kindle:
​
-
They try to download the book but can’t. Usually, this is on Kindle White. If anyone tells you this please get their email address and send it to me. I will send them a PDF Copy.
-
They try to give a review but Amazon rejects it (they might even get a nasty message from Amazon). There are usually 2 reasons for this. 1. They haven’t spent $50 with Amazon in the last year. 2. They are connected to you in some way and Amazon decides they are contributing an inauthentic reviewer.
If either of these issues come up please thank them for being on your launch team and we appreciate them very much. We will resolve issue #1 and if issue #2 is a problem, They can go to Goodreads and leave their review for free here. [Goodreads Link Coming Soon!]
