News from Streetlib

I have been informed by Streetlib that the four paperbacks that I have set up so far on their Print service are in violation of Amazon’s standards, because they contain incest, even though the Streetlib Distribution agreement only talks about blocking the distribution of incest to a list of stores where ebooks are distributed, including “Amazon Kindle” specifically.   At no time during the Print setup process was I asked whether the books contained incest.  Nor did support personnel who assisted in setting up the books flag them, despite the descriptions they contained being clear as to the content.

Anyway, the books have been removed from Amazon/CreateSpace.  The first two of them already show as “Out of Print” on Amazon’s site, although still visible in the store, while books 3 & 4 show limited copies in stock that they must have printed already.  Grab them while they’re still there!  They’ll be collector’s items, right?

Unfortunately, this means that the paperbacks have also been taken off distribution through Streetlib’s storefront, although I have been reassured that they will eventually restore them to that store.

At least I got my personal copies, right?
