Hey, I don’t know if whoever flagged the typos in my ebook thought they were helping, but please don’t do that. That just means there’s a quality warning on Amazon’s sale’s page. It’s super not helpful, particularly when the issue is vernacular English.
Now I get to spend a morning trying to find a year-old file and explaining to Amazon that “moreso” is a word in informal English.
You have made my life way more difficult on Christmas Eve by setting this flag. I’m sure that wasn’t your intent, but...yeah, not great.
Oh, bugger all, I got this file from Argyll, so I don't actually have an up-to-date file I can edit for it. This gets better and better!
I'm just going to burn everything and go become a medical test subject.
THAT WASN'T EVEN A TYPO, PERSON, YOU GOT CONFUSED ABOUT THE SPEAKER
I will, sadly and angstfully, cop to typos. I make them. I’ve made peace. But now I’m supposed to fix failures of this person’s reading comprehension and understanding of vernacular so that Amazon will take down the tag saying my book is low quality. During a sale.
Oh. This is a whole known thing with this system. Yikes.
I have uploaded a new file. But I’m not actually sure that fixes the issues in the system? There is no button to click that says “I’ve uploaded a fix”?
Welp, that’s maybe sorted? I dunno. Perhaps I’ll go curl into fetal position for a few hours.

Again, my dear proofreader friends, please don’t blame yourselves. Amazon doesn’t exactly explain that your desire to be helpful is telling a computer that Book Is Bad, Pull Bad Book.
...and now I feel really ill about the whole system. Dear god.
