Yes, always allow 48 hours for any web changes to propagate to servers worldwide.

Glad it worked out.

Yeah, it was just a waiting game. I checked both product pages yesterday and they were updated.

I'm just getting experience in publishing on Kindle, but it definitely says somewhere that there can be a delay in getting a new cover up. I made some changes to my text, not my cover, and it took 24 hours for them to show up.

Good evening, fellow authors! I come to ask advice about what to expect in uploading a new cover. I changed the cover for my novel at KDP, PubIt and Smashwords today, and so far Smashwords is the only seller that's showing the new one. 

KDP shows the new one on the book's Edit page, but shows the old one on the product page in the Kindle store. I've received the email from KDP that said my book had been published (i.e., the changes were processed, as the book's been on Amazon for months), and the product page is still showing the old cover.

On PubIt, I could've sworn I uploaded and saved the new cover this afternoon, but this evening showed no change, even on the Edit page, so I did it again. Still not showing the new cover anywhere.

Is this something that just happens sometimes? What should I expect? Do I just have to keep trying until it works?

I know from the initial publishing process that it takes a number of hours for KDP and PubIt to process changes before they appear in the store, as I recall, the author bookshelf is supposed to be show something as "waiting" or "publishing" when there's a change that hasn't yet hit the store.

Help?

Hey all,

I just took the plunge and signed all six of my eBooks up for KDP Select. It's my birthday this weekend, and I made all six of them free for parts or all of this weekend as a little birthday present to the world. Please feel free to partake in the freebook feast :)

Here are the titles, for reference:

Fast Times in Palestine
Siberian Travels
Tribute for Ronan (includes a juicy romance that made the tabloids in Ireland)
Camp Golden Shaft (shoestring travels in Russia and the Middle East)
The Fable of Megastan (a retelling of Iraqi and American history with the roles of the two countries reversed)
The Brimming Void

Is there anywhere on She Writes that I can connect with professionals who design digital book covers?  This area of self-publishing is a mystery to me. I have been reading some of the comments about designing your own covers, but I would like to find some reputable book cover designers as well. Thanks for any tips.

For any of you considering self-publishing.  The latest from TheBookDesigner, someone who seems to have his finger on the pulse of this overwhelming and wild new world. In this video he interviews Brian Felsen, CEO of BookBaby.com, a follow-up to an interview he did some months ago.  I'm leaning toward these guys, especially now that they include print as well.  Now to get a final edit for Monkey's Wedding, (even got me a "fan page" on Facebook!) Please stop by.
