Using one of my many nicks (zaphod), I downloaded the F/M Volume through the LSF, for a few reasons: I wanted the PDF format for my PC, and, as I understand it, it gave a bit more of the money to the LSF. Plus, I can't have it associated with my various Kindle devices, because they are shared.
I also registered with Amazon under my anthology pen name, Patrick Kaykes. I wanted to leave a glowing (red) review on Amazon for the volume I downloaded, but unfortunately, Amazon won't let me, unless or until I buy something from them (it can't be a FREE ebook, either) under my pen name. It doesn't have to be THIS book, but any book. I have a very active regular amazon account under my real name, but I don't want to use that to write the review. Any way around this so that I can get some good reviews going for this volume, or any of the others? Or will I have to buy something from them using my pen name, but my regular credit card (not really my preference) before I can write a review? I'm not even sure - can I use pay pal with amazon? I've always used a credit card.
Februs:
Sales have been very disappointing so far but hopefully over time things will pick up
Hopefully, they already have: Today, Volume 6 is ranked as 63,050 in the paid Amazon listings; yesterday, I think it was somewhere around 126,000.

You mean for family and business associates?
No, but maybe my "giving them the business" associates.
