Without. And I've never put a preorder up with over a month before release. Not sure if that matters??

Have you seen delays when the manuscript isn't submitted? It's annoying becuase I could have submitted it if I had thought it'd matter. The body of the book is ready to go too.

Anyone noticing this? Usually I put a new book up and, even during review, an ASIN pops up within a few hours. My newest book is just dragging x48 hrs as "pre-order in review". It's a preorder--not sure if that's the reason? Tomorrow I'll message them as it'll hit their 72hr mark. I've seen delays like this with paperbacks before but not my ebooks.

I'm kinda hoping they're not reporting sales. My sales are awful this week.

It's a back end thing.

The estimates graph appears to be accurate. But the download off the same screen, is not.

Edit: Looks like something was fixed.

But sales do seem to be well down. It's not often I get up to find only a single sale showing. But apparently yesterday was the same as well.

So as well as the reports being wonky, something else seems to be going on as well.

I verified there is a serious problem going on.

Data for the US and UK stores seem to be on the estimate graph, but when you download the spreadsheet, all the sales and pre-order data is missing for both stores.

KDP help chat took some convincing, and might be putting in a report. Have to wait and see what comes back.

But yes, there is definitely a problem.

And it's August, when all the truly great KDP problems seem to occur.

I just googled Book Report and got the site.
It had a warning on the page so I guess Liam is aware of it.

"Warning: KDP is inconsistently reporting eBook sales royalties as of August 23rd. Since Book Report relies on KDP's data, this means that your sales data may be incomplete or inaccurate until their spreadsheets become reliable again.

We have contacted KDP support, and they said: "Our technical teams are aware of this problem and are working hard to fix it as soon as possible."

Now off to see what the program actually does. :-)
