Progress is slow but sure.
I don't have the exact times in front of me, but I published a new paperback last month. After I clicked "Approve" it showed up on Amazon and Barnes&Noble in hours or days rather than weeks. When I clicked on "Approve" for a revision, it was at Amazon in under 3 hours, instead of weeks or months - and that was after office hours on a Friday. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.
Lulu is getting their act together. Perhaps they are discovering it is a competitive world out there now days. Good for them!

I hope you're right BlueAndGold I haven't given up on them yet, but there are still things I don't like about the updated Lulu. |

That is unusual and fast! My luck on the other hand is quite the opposite. I republished my latest ebook a month ago. It's still only on Scribd, Kobos, and Barnes. No Apple or Amazon. I just revised another to their suggestion and three days now it's still pending. I swear they don't like me LOL. But glad you're having luck. Maybe I just caught them on a busy day. I don't know. Not to mention the six other books still missing on Scribd. |

I'm starting to think that printed books are treated differently than e-books. The e-book system seems to be a complete disaster, but the printed book system has been (mostly) fine.

I think on the ebook conversion process they sometimes get formatted incorrectly on the site. Paperbacks though using pdfs don't have that problem. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I know mine aren't formatted the best. I need to work on getting that down especially when adding graphics.

But I have had some bad problems since the updates. It's made things financially tough. But God's been good so far. Not gotten Covid, and still been able to pay the bills. Really hoping they get things fixed soon. This has really hurt them reputation and business wise. It will take soon work to get them back on their feet. |
