Amazon Troubles

So I'm pretty sure I haven't run afoul of any algorithms. I think Amazon is just having server issues but this isn't the first time. Author central shows no sales and no predictions, my author rank won't show and my books don't show as available when I visit on my phone (only my computer).

For Their Wild Little Girl this is a minor annoyance. That book exists on multiple sites but (publisher decision) all of my other books are Amazon/Audible exclusives. If the site messes up then I lose out big time. It's really frustrating and, in retrospect, it's one of the things I regret most.

Kindle Unlimited and The Romance Package held such promise and they were great for readers but authors? We lose out big time. I barely see $50/month when all 6 of my books in 2 different formats (ebook and audiobook) are combined and a big part of that is that the actual book just isn't getting purchased. Going forward I'm going to be looking for publishers who diversify their mediums and this will hopefully help me reach a point where writing is a more reliable source of income. Until then I can only hope that Amazon gets it together soon.
