  • Nohra Bernal's question about where reviews appear when left in different country stores such as Amazon US or Amazon UK or Amazon France.
  • Molly McIntyre and Jan Ziff's questions about image optimization and how to reduce the file size of your book below the 3MB limit so that you can run a deal for $0.99 on your book (and save on delivery fees!)
  • Chris Clinton's question about how to update the cover of a book after it has been published (and the types of things you can or can't update after publication.)
  • Tammy Zenner and Richard Prygodizicz's questions about putting links into our books.
