Question: If I click on your amazon link to purchase a given title but want the kindle version will you still get credit for the purchase?
Amazon doesn’t pay commissions on Kindle ebooks (see here), but anything else you buy on Amazon via those links does help us. And (it’s not worth going into the details) but there is a slight benefit to folks buying the kindle versions via those links (it’s better than nothing, essentially). Thanks for your support! We appreciate it!
Good to know. I hope that Amazon will change its stance and pay commissions on everything, one day.
That Ellison is good and fine, but if “Three Days” doesn’t feature a talking monkey riding a talking donkey on a fantastic quest, count me out.
I’ll stop now.
