Remember northern hemisphere is in summer, which is very slow sales of novels, ebooks, etc. :-)
Interestingly, another two blogs I visit every so often are both saying they are pulling all eBooks form Select and going wide as each one finishes set timeframe. One writer said it was because they did not like how Amazon can cancel their account without advising and trying to fix whatever problem arises. The other blog writer did not give a reason why they were pulling all books out of select.
Something is happening in Select ... but what? Change of page count? Change of page read payout decreasing? Other? :-)
I will remain wide for now. :-)

Went through my backlist to pull out of K U. Good job I did as I had missed some last time. Main ones are out of there tomorrow so I can go wide and more importantly, get craggy and dusty one both permafree. Looks like I've a whole weekend ahead of sorting it all out. Might go pronoun with one book. Dunno.

Just about everything is out of K U now. I'll have a full day tomorrow going wide again. Noticed on my Zon page, the individual Craggy books are K U free and still for sale, which is as it should be, but where they have grouped the six books together as a series it says "Not currently available" Zon assure me all the books are for sale, but it still looks odd, contradicting itself. Enjoying my new book which is going like a train and I can hardly keep up with myself. Up to 40K words so far with a target between 55 and 60 K. A quick cup of tea and I'll be back to it.
Do me a favour please, folks. Zon keep telling me all my books are still available for sale including craggy the series. I see the individual books for sale, but the series (not the box) where the six are grouped keep saying not currently available??? I'm past arguing with them. Please go to Zon.com and take a look at my page under Gary Weston and see if you see what I see. Must be old age.

I feel I have no control, it's making all these decisions for me, decisions I didn't want....grrrr, so my reply is short.

Great. That solves the confusion. It must be because it is me looking at it from here in the U K. It most certainly says it from where I'm sitting. So all is good. They will all be going wide tomorrow with #1 Craggy free. Come back the good old days. 17.94 for six books? A steal at half the price.

The entire "series" thing has gone from my page, at least on this computer. Zon works in mysterious ways!!!

Clear your cache, Gary. refresh the browser. Good luck with going wide. Do you have a dedicated Amazon page via author central?

Hi, Julie. I'll just ignore the oddities of it all. Yes I sorted out my author page. I even remember to update my bio now and then. Getting addicted to this new story and on 43k words, some of them good ones. I think you'll like it. Maybe your mother will, too. I intend to put Craggy one free when I go wide and badger Zon to price match it. I don't believe I'm the only one pulling out of K U. I have some new ideas to try out and push things along again. No peace for the wicked

Uh oh. I must be doing something wrong. This is the message I get when clicking on the 'Series' link for Craggy ebooks on Amaazon: This series is currently not available for purchase. Message appears when logged into Amazon using my Firefox browser. This is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJ07O9I/ref=series_rw_dp_swBUT, when Amazon doesn't recognize me - treats me as a guest - when I'm using Opera and the same link Amazon displays price for Craggy Series and this text; 'Deliver to your Kindle or other device'. When I click on the Buy button and login to Amazon I get this message: "Ted Summerfield, this title is not available for you. Due to copyright restrictions, the Kindle title you're trying to purchase is not available in your country: Canada. Did you recently move to a new country? You can easily update your country for your Amazon account." Oh boy. Amazon. Such wonderful customer service.

Just looked at the page on my kindle and from the uk. Text very clearly states, next to the series entry: this series is currently unavailable for purchase.

But, that is not what I saw when I found that series. I tried to add screen images as attachments but it did not work. I see something different and there is no notation that the series is unavailable.

Beats me. But I find it best to not stress over it. Started going wide with the books with D2D this morning. Started off with the first four Craggy's. Already for sale on Apple. Good going.
