Quickie: Easing Your Amazon Online Book Marketing Process

I know many authors are at odds with Amazon. But Amazon is where the readers are. Not only does Amazon offer benefits like AuthorsConnect to authors, but they continue to make managing our online book marketing with them easier. Here is a link that will help you with a new feature that will let you update or begin adding review excerpts and other information to your Amazon sales pages:

By the way, I use my Amazon profile often; I even have a shortened address for it: www.budurl.com/CarolynsAmazProfile.
