Title: Amazon scores a point.

Legend of Dreamwalker was up and live in just under an hour, and the email notification just arrived in 4.5 hours.

Amazon scores a point for fast work.

Now if only they could do that all the time?

It would be nice to think that Amazon is making an effort to do those new release email faster. Of course, it could just be a fluke.

Not a new release email. It's the Your book is available in the store email.

Oh, I misread that. My availability emails usually come pretty fast, though. 4.5 hours is only a little faster than my norm. Still, I guess any improvement is better than no improvement.

For me, the average is 9 to 10 hours before they tell me it's live, and I can access the book again if I need to.

The last release notification from an author I follow came out in about 7 days. I'd be fine if they could do at least that well, consistently.
