Cover Differences Between eBook and Paperback & Misc. Amazon Issues

Due to the structure of the Amazon publishing process, the original eBook cover had to be modified somewhat when the print cover was being created. The interior text of both versions is identical. Also, the print version required substantially wider margins which caused its total page count to increase substantially relative to the eBook pagination.

I understand the above might cause frustration for those who have both versions, leaving off on one page electronically and then finding that the print page is not the same. This will be corrected in subsequent volumes. It has occurred on this book because the electronic version had already been produced with margins that were too narrow to go to print. The print manuscript was subsequently modified when the glitch was found. Going forward, the electronic version margins and the print version margins will be the same. That should preclude the out of sync problem.

Lastly, there may be a linking issue on Amazon between the two versions. It is supposed to be set up to where a person can buy an eBook version for $1.99 once they have purchased a paperback. If that does not work for you, please drop a note here.

Thank you for all your support in this adventure!!
