The Horrible New Author's Spotlight - Bring Back the Good Old Author's Bookstore

Status: Heard this before
by kwyldeck on ‎12-31-2011 06:26 PM

I hate the new Author's Spotlight page. For authors with several book titles, it's a total mess, with random titles in random formats scattered all over several pages. The old Author's Storefront was perfect, with one title and one cover picture per book, with a simple choice of print or download. Why did they have to change this elegant format just because they brought in the e-book format? Are they going to fix up this mess sometime soon? We just need one title per book, with one cover picture, plus a choice of Print, E-Pub or E-PDF. Please bring back the old Storefront. It was elegant, efficient and simple.

Hi kwyldeck, thanks for the suggestion. We're not going to bring back Storefronts, but the concerns you have about Author Spotlight are well documented, and we're considering some of the changes for the future to make Spotlight a better solution. Thanks for using Lulu!

Yes we know. The forum was full about it, months ago ... Lulu know it's not much liked already.

The moment I saw what it was like I forgot about Spotlight and directed potential buyers to my books via my own website.
