Is it normal that a newly published book on Amazon Kindle doesn't have a sales rank and doesn't show up in any category? I've been told the sales rank only appears once the book starts selling. But I am wondering how the book should sell if nobody can find it (unless they type in the book title or click on a link). Isn't it possible to choose your categories in KDP during publishing instead of waiting for Amazon to pick them for you?
I should mention that I am not the author of the book, just the translator, so I do not have insight into the publishing process. But the book has been out for over a month now and I am getting a bit concerned.
Thanks!
