I've finally decided to take Monarch wider than Amazon. This is due in large part because of Amazon and the poor customer service I have received since the beginning of the year. This type of thing happens when you get too big for your own good.
When it comes to dealing with professionals, I expect to explain myself once and have that be sufficient to get my point across. I always think of the Cars song "Psycho Killer" at such times. "Say something once, why say it again?
That's enough hating on Amazon. I would advise self-publishing authors who are attempting something similar to what I am working on (Releasing a novel that REQUIRES multiple updates), to be warned that your patience will be tested with Amazon's customer service, and your readers will be forced to wait needlessly. OK, now I'm done.
The Spectacularly Awesome result of Amazon FAILING is that it forced me to move to SMASHWORDS earlier than I had planned. Why I was waiting, I can now barely remember.
