Plogging on Amazon… new for authors

I’ve got a "plog" on my Amazon home page. Do you? Frankly, this plog thing is a bit confusing. As Amazon puts it, every person’s plog is different - hence the term "plog" and not "blog."

So… if you buy my book (I assume this works for pre-orders too, but don’t know for sure) I can "plog" to you - with updates about the book or whatever - next time you log on to Amazon. (Or you can just read this blog!)

The plog I see when I login to my Amazon account is different. It’s by an author whose book I’ve purchased (Marcus Buckingham’s The One Thing You Need to Know).

As I posted earlier, Amazon.co.uk continue to claim that they cannot supply your book. Can you or your publisher sort this out please?

Ian,

Thanks hugely for your interest. The UK rights to the book have *just* been sold. I suspect it may take a bit of time before The Corporate Blogging Book shows up on Amazon UK. I’ll look into it!

Debbie, I fear you may misunderstand. I placed an order for your book with Amazon.co.uk some months ago. A week or so ago Amazon.co.uk cancelled this order and presumably all orders for the title. They now say it is unavailable.
