KDP Select and Vella
Just in case any of you were wondering the same thing….
Yesterday, I got online in a chat with an Amazon rep (Raul). I asked whether I could simultaneously publish a novel to KDP Select and then also serialize it in Vella.
I figured it was a stupid question, but I couldn’t know until I’d asked. I’d never heard of anyone doing that before, and for me it would be perfect.
To my amazement, Raul asked me to give him a moment to “investigate whether that would be possible.”
In short, the answer is no. He wrote in reply,
“Upon checking the Kindle Vella guidelines it seems that is not allowed to break down published content (ebooks and paperback) on Kindle Vella. You can check this help page for more information.””
Well, at least now we know. (grin)
Vacation
Leaving shortly to head for the hills. Well, actually the Lower Gila Box Wilderness.
My co-traveller, Dan Baldwin, graciously allowed me, in our absence, to repost a recent blog he wrote. It will appear tomorrow. Then it might be a day or two before you hear from me again. (grin) I’m sure you’ll bear my absence from your inbox.
Talk with you again soon.
