Have you all been over to your book pages at B&N? Looks like a new look! The also boughts are on every page I saw, the ability to randomly click stars seems to be gone and there are non B&N ads in place.
I don't know how this will affect anything, but found it interesting. Hopefully, the also boughts will have a postive effect.

I'm not 100% sold on the new look, though there do seem to be some nice features.

At least you can browse for erotica again. For a while, that category was gone. I wish they'd give my books also boughts. I'm guessing they're intentionally leaving them off PubIt erotic titles

Changing the subject. Thats a killer cover.

I must pop over to B&N and have a look.

Hmm...that's funny, my also-boughts disappeared when they brought up the new look.  I keep checking, though, hoping they will come back, because there were some pretty good ones!

They are selling fried chicken on my page.

Maybe the redesign is why they're taking FOREVER to process the story I tried to publish there at the first of the week.

 

[Sarah Woodbury]

Ooh!  I've got the chicken too!  But actually, it's an ad for Groupon.  The other choice appears to be an online university and a children's clothing store.

I've been waiting since May 26th for my book to show up.

With the introduction of their newest Nook (B&W) and with other changes they are making I am expecting them to improve their market share. B&N is beginning to make strides...

I hope they do. It makes me nervous when Amazon is the dominant ebook supplier. I'd like to see sales spread out over more distributors.

the ability to randomly click stars seems to be gone

Wait... do you mean people have to leave a review now to affect the star rating?

ETA: Also, in some (not all) cases, my descriptions seem to have lost all their paragraphing, so that they're a solid block of text. I need to go fix the ones that are messed up.

"Ooh! I've got the chicken too! But actually, it's an ad for Groupon. The other choice appears to be an online university and a children's clothing store."

Thought experiment:

Suppose they put the chicken on 1,000 book pages and found some books result in more chicken clicks, and some less chicken clicks. Maybe two books each get 500 views and each sells 100 books, but one gets 200 chicken clicks, and the other gets three. Will they push the book that sells more chicken?

The chicken is on the book page now. So when will the little cluckers find their way into the book itself?

LOL!! I do find it weird that they have ads from other places on the pages, but if it helps them survive I'm for it.

The announcement of the new Nook got my mom to looking for an eReader. I think she is going to go with the new Nook, but she was looking at Kindle too. Every time something new like this comes along I think it will push a few more people over the edge (in a good for us way).

That is how it appears to me--either that or they have blocked my clicking ability....
