      It got to be with the margins around the book . Is s one time setting for the whole book.
      It has a setting number like:
      .5 for the outer margin and
      .66 for the gutter margins
      .55 bottom margin
      .66 header
      Now kindle has it own settings.
      Look for it.

I typed in my author name and the print book wasn't even listed in the "Books" store! I checked each of the 70 or so pages of search results. Not found! I realize the book isn't new, but what's the point of having books there if customers can't find them?I've contacted AMZ, but they don't seem to get that NO ONE can find my books unless they type in the exact title, which nobody does. I've searched hundreds of author names that are close to my ranking and EVERY one of their books show on page 1 of the results. Sorry for the long story, but I'm just a little frustrated.

    Hi Dave,
    When filling the Title and Subtitle do we have to enter the "colon (:) punctuation mark" after the Title of our book?
    Or will it be added automatically once the book is published?
    Please check the below example. I'm talking about the colon after the Title (the word beginners).
    [New Diabetic Cookbook for Beginners: Easy, Tasty & Low-Carb Recipes for the Whole Year]
    Also is it ok to add both Title and Subtitle in the Title box together? (I mean without adding a subtitle)

    I have seen some videos on other channels talking about having your book read by some people before it's launch and that way they are able to leave reviews? Wouldn't Amazon flag them without seeing a purchase?
    And since Amazon cares about sales, how important are the reviews for the algorithms? If they are making sales, they would rank it up regardless, no?

      Thanks but that is covered @5:20 in the video. It's literally just clicking the upload manuscript, selecting the file from your computer and voila. Now, if your question is how do you prepare your manuscript for upload, that's a completely different subject. The answer depends on which software you used to format your manuscript into the appropriate file - something like Atticus.io does the trick.
