Just goes to show I guess. Indie authors really have to work twice as hard as traditionally published authors to make sure they're only putting out good quality product because no one at Amazon is checking it obviously.

It looks like books are not the only things getting through without approval, Kindle Fire Apps are also as bad.

This really stinks, because it took nearly 4 weeks for them to review and approve my App for Amazon's store yet this is published no problem : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089E4XIE/

RE: How on earth does this stuff get published?

In a way I find this a little depressing. When I started my author journey I genuinely wanted to see my work in print and eFormat. I hoped folk would read it and enjoy. I knew that competing against tens of thousands of other titles would be a challenge... but come on! When this sort of stuff is about, why would anyone risk their money on an unknown?

Anyway, it's Saturday night, and the wine has now breathed its last breath Smile
