A little while ago I bemoaned the fact that I had made one of my books free and it got no read figures via KENP. 

Well, today, scratting around on among KDP notices I found one that told me Amazon no longer give KENP stats for free reads. If you don't pay for it, they don't track any reads for you. So I guess there's not a lot of point in making my books free any more.  I wonder when they changed that?

People say it pulls in new readers because they try you for free, decide they like you and go buy some of your other stuff. I'll believe it when I see it.

The pic on the right was taken in Hong Kong some years ago.  It still looks astonishingly modern and very stylish. A far cry from other parts of  the city - I don't know how those poor trees survive!
