Book Cover Illustrations

There’s a little confusion about how Amazon is going to be flagging typos, etc., in Kindle ebooks sold at Amazon. Some publishers and writers initially thought that minor typos, foreign words, or words not in a spellcheck might merit the same treatment as poorly edited books.

However that does NOT appear to be the case.

It now appears that most of the flagging will occur at the pre-approval/proofing level. Additionally (at least initially), human beings on the Amazon side of the process will be overseeing the process of flagging items in text to avoid any disasters. So overall, the new changes promise to be a good thing for those producing quality ebooks, and a not-so-good thing for those trying to flood the marketplace with half-finished monstrosities.

Of course time will tell.

Here’s a good article from John Doppler that gives the facts on what’s know about all this thus far.
