Amazon Discounts 07/03/2010
 
Question: Oh No! My Amazon discount is gone. What do I do? I am publishing through LightningSource with a 20% discount. Has this happened to anyone else?

Answer: Yes, of course. The Amazon discounts are not controlled by the author-- The discounts come and go. I have books that have been discounted from day one (one of my textbooks has been discounted 32% for over four months). But I also have a bookkeeping book that used to be discounted 10%-- for over a year-- and is now full price and has been for the last 30 days. Amazon uses a fancy algorithm to decide how to discount a book, and they do it without warning.
