Amazon Art Nouveau KDP Bug

Issues with Amazon Prime and delivery dates for the Art Nouveau Coloring Book listing by Hello Charlie

Let me start by apologizing to anyone this past week who has tried to purchase The Art Nouveau Coloring Book: Hats, Cats, & Vintage Romance. There is an ongoing issue involving estimated book delivery times between Amazon KDP and Amazon Retail. Unfortunately, I’ve been stuck in the middle trying to get to the bottom of this. This past Saturday, the title was temporarily removed because what I believe was an automated scan detected the words “Alphonse Mucha” along with “Klimt”, two founders of the Art Nouveau movement who are long dead.

The Amazon KDP EU Antitrust Bug

Discovering a major EU anti-trust bug involving KDP book publishing pricing in the EU.

It’s not every day that one discovers a major bug with global implications involving Amazon and potential anti-trust lawsuits, but I came across one.

USPTO Trademark Scam Warning

A scammer trying to pretend to be the USPTO and attempting to steal from someone applying for a trademark or a patent.

In dealing with copyright allegations involving Amazon KDP and Content Review, I took the step to trademark Hello Charlie, however I have been scammed.

Amazon Content Review is Useless

Amazon KDP Copyright and Content Review team is completely useless.

Someone, somewhere is laughing at me. They’re saying to themselves, “see, this is what he deserves for choosing to publish his coloring books with Amazon KDP.” Yes, it’s an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound somehow involving a flintlock musket. It’s a Darwin Award without the award. I get it, so go ahead and be self-righteously snarky. Hindsight is 20/20. But just like Ishmael, I’m about to go down with this ship in a blaze of glory.

Amazon Reviews. Amazon Fix Your…

A farm of writers creating fake reviews for Amazon products, including books and artwork.

I appreciate everyone’s reviews. It brings me immense joy to see that everyone likes these titles and are having a great time. Now if only Amazon could get their own stuff together.
