Kindle Warning...

...There are NO provisions with Amazon Kindle for removing/unpublishing your book! I only found this out when, for personal reasons, I decided to remove my book from Kindle. I queried their site for the way to remove my book and was promptly told there are no provisions for this operation. WTF??? This is BS of the highest order; my book is my property and having signed no contract for longevity I have the right to remove my book with no notice. This is a scary scenario and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I, being of large imagination quickly came up with a way to remove my book, which is no longer available on Amazon's site. I will think long and hard before I post a book there again. They need to come up with a way to rectify what I consider to be a very big problem. That said, I'm enjoying unexpectedly brisk sales here in Thailand.

I would add this; there were more than a few requests to "unpublish" author's books. I found this disturbing as previously stated.

There is no place to rest...
