Amazon Only

Howdy all! So I told you a couple of weeks ago how I needed to remove the first two books of the Prophecy of the Dragons from Smashwords (and their affiliates) because they were not yet done in the KDP Select run (free to download for Kindle Unlimited members). While I waited, I discovered I get more readers through the KDP Select program than Smashwords or the affiliates, so I decided to re-up Dragon Guard  and Dragon Dreams  to the program and unpublish books 3 and 4 ( Dragon Magic and Dragon Hex ) from Smashwords. I will give them a day or two to be removed from the affiliates, and then I will add those to the KDP Select program, too, so Kindle Unlimited readers will be able to read the entire series for free (not counting their monthly fee, of course!). For any inconvenience this causes non-Kindle customers, I apologize, but for me, this makes more sense. If you don't have a Kindle, remember you can always download the free Kindle app on your phone, tablet, or desktop/lapto

I need to unpublish them for the month of June on Smashwords and the affiliated premium sites until they are through their run on Amazon's KDP Select. I recently received a note from Amazon saying that I had violated terms with Dragon Guard since it is not Amazon exclusive, and it will be taken off KDP status if I did not fix this. Not a big deal so far, as I don't want it on KDP anymore. But then they said continued "abuse" of the system could end in my participation in the program being terminated, including as a reader. Since Dragon Dreams is also violating the system, technically, I decided to not play with fire, even if nothing might happen. So, what this means is that I took both books down from Smashwords, and therefore the premium sites. I'll have them both back up in July when they've run their course.  I don't know if Dragon Guard will remain perma-free on Amazon, bu
