Linking eBook and Printbook on Amazon
I've put out print and digital versions of my book, and they're both on amazon, but they don't recognize that they're the same book (if I click on 'editions' they won't list each other) does anyone know who I should email to see about getting them linked?

Hi Scyoni,
If your title and author name are identical they will link them in time.
However, mistakes happen, so, to be sure, contact Support and ask if they could please call Amazon on your behalf.
You should create an author central page on Amazon. From there you can check sales, rankings and contact support by email or call them. You can also write and have them add search phrases to your books. I have and they linked the books for me. I had to write last night about added a book to my page under a pen name but they added someone else's book instead of mine even after I gave the ISBN. I'm working on getting that straightened out. First time they've let me down. But to let you know Amazon support has been very helpful and I have no complaints but the Author Central page is a good idea to keep up on your books.

I wouldn't worry about it at the moment. When I searched for Sendrask
on Amazon it asked me did I mean Sendak! So much for search!
Eventually viewers will be able to click on 'See All Formats' and see
your ebook and print book.
Thanks for the tip Ninja! I didn't realize they had something like that for authors who don't use their self publishing tools.On the help page of AuthorCentral I found a guide for asking them to link the two through AuthorCentral Support.
Don't forget that your book is posted on Amazon in more than one country. I had to make a separate page in different sites but did finally find one that would add the search on all sites. I was told that the one in the U.S. is different from the others. You'll notice that your reviews on one site don't show up on the others. I have one five star review on the U.K. site but it's not on the U.S. site so something to think but might not be worth the trouble.

I'm from Canada so I signed up on Amazon.ca, and I just checked the US, UK, and JP sites (the last one for no particular reason) and it's working everywhere.
