Austin Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Did everyone else have their Kindle pre-orders canceled by Amazon today? I checked back and none of the new ebooks coming out on Saturday can be pre-ordered at all now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I checked the anthology and Rulers of the Dead, neither of them have an option to buy on Kindle any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Happened to me too, but this is not unusual for Kindle, and not just with GW. For some reason, a lot of pre-orders seem to get pulled a few days before the ebook is released, which automatically cancels existing pre-orders. Aggravating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is interesting, I have never had it happen before with an eBook. I think aggravating sums up my general experience dealing with Black Library. I do not understand why they cannot get their act together. In many cases they actually make it difficult to purchase their product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Just an update, this week's new books from BL are not available at all in ebook format on the Amazon store. edit- Interestingly, all the books are actually available on the Apple book store. I don't know if people were tracking, but recently many Black Library books on the Kindle store were reduced to much better prices (more in line with other books sold through the Kindle store). Books on the Apple store have not been reduced in price (i.e. a book that cost 15.99 USD is still that price whereas the Kindle version will likely be 9.99 or 11.99 USD). Makes me wonder if this is some sort of fight Black Library is having with Amazon. Edited May 25, 2019 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd rather have my ebook in Kindle format over Apple Books, so hopefully BL and Amazon can sort out any type of background issues. Sorry that your preorders got messed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Amazon have a habit of messing with publisher's prices, and all the publisher can do is withdraw their product until Amazon move onto another publisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
