Hi, I've made my book "What in Hell is up with Heaven?" free on Smashwords. I've heard that Amazon picks up the lower price of another distributor and lowers their price to match the competitors. So far, they haven't done it.

My favor to ask: If you have the time, could you go to my book site on Amazon and post the new price that's on Smashwords? I think if enough people alert Amazon, they'll move more quickly.

Here's the info:
Go to my booksite on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OYTF4A

Under Product Details: click on "tell us about a lower price?"
Click on "Website (Online)"
Enter URL (smashwords location): https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/48856
Enter Price ($): 0.00

That's it. Just hit the "submit feeback" button and Amazon should do the rest.

Thanks so much for you help

I've done it for you Chris, hope it helps.

I did it, but you should know there's no guarantee they'll match, especially if it's free. Otherwise one of mine would've gone free months ago. It's luck of the draw.

I didn't know that, but thanks anyway. Hopefully something will come of it.

I did it for you too. If something does come of this, perhaps a thread can be made for authors who want to reduce the prices of their ebooks to "free" on Amazon.

Hi Foreverjuly... looks like Amazon UK has just made my book free on their site. Whoohoo. I've had almost 30 books downloaded in less than 15 minutes. Now if the US site would only follow suit...

Your wish was my command... I just posted your lower price.

Thanks Chris! I don't suppose that lightning strikes twice in the same place!
