Way to go! So glad to hear you didn’t roll over … as that would have been what Amazon wanted. Keep fighting with them … I’m preparing my first book to bring it to ya’ll!!

To date i have published two books, one i published on my own and paid to do so with booksurge in 2004 called “When There are Dragons there is Alzheimers” the second book was published through pa in 2006 called “Through the Maze of Life”. They are both poetry books, the first has gone nowhere, i am not very good at marketing, i’m 63 years old, the second has given me three royalty checks, all under $2.00. yes, i know, i went from the pan to to the fire, thats what happens when your in you 60’s and want to see your words into print before you die, have something for your grandchildren to say about you or follow in your footsteps. that hasnt happened, and not all of my poems are bad. Am i disgruntled? yes Am i hurt? yes Am i angry? hell yes. But to date i havent known what to do, till now and my fighting irish has surfaced. Where do I fit in to this scenario?
sincerely

Yes! Amazon is so clearly in the wrong here. In fact, I wonder if they’re trying to back off without looking like they’re backing off.

Since their original move was on a weekend, they must have known this was dodgy and possibly illegal.

Go, Angela!
