Maybe next they'll want book covers revised?<BR/>Nik Morton<BR/>(Author of Pain Wears No Mask, The Prague Manuscript, Last Chance Saloon (Ross Morton)) - so there!Nik Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060923673065456386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-48569000064490358432009-04-06T06:41:00.000-06:002009-04-06T06:41:00.000-06:00Bit bureaucratic.Though I review as a reader - not...Bit bureaucratic.<BR/>Though I review as a reader - not as a writer.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154296143024548830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-42523081169045267612009-04-05T21:51:00.000-06:002009-04-05T21:51:00.000-06:00I don't agree with this decision of Amazon.

Many of us, whether published author or an author of a blog, have our names linked to our work.<BR/><BR/>An established author writing a reveiw of another's book does make a difference, in my opinion, on the sale of a book.<BR/><BR/>It's good business. It rewards the author for taking the time to write a review and it rewards the author being reviewed.<BR/><BR/>Do I think reviews should have arbitrarily removed without warning? Absolutely not. If there is a change in policy, warning should be given--especially when it's been a standard policy practiced for years. Amazon, to put it bluntly, needs to get their heads out of their ass.~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-65388055123463864532009-04-04T20:34:00.000-06:002009-04-04T20:34:00.000-06:00I wonder if they will be doing that with bloggers ...I wonder if they will be doing that with bloggers who have their blog titles in their signatures of reviews that they cross-post.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.com
