Soliciting reviews from readers
My client has requested I include a page just after the main matter that looks something like this:
Quote:
My reading of the Kindle Publishing Guidelines (2019.1) §7.2 suggests this is allowed. If anybody knows different, please tell me and I’ll inform my client. What’s the cleanest way to display this table of logos? Simple table? Complicated-code table? Does anyone have an example I can crib from? |

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...53#post3831853 I believe it's best to have images/logos + human-readable URLs below. Not everyone is going to have internet-connected devices, not every device is going to have touch, and not every device is going to handle images within <a> tags. |

Isn't this redundant to what amazon already does at the end of books?

Half of the Kindles don't have viable browsers, for one thing. Most people just ignore that or forget it. The outbound links in iOS device readers are deliberately disabled. Putting embedded links into ANYTHING is a bad idea, because those 50% of readers can't get there from here. Not to mention, using images as a link is a bad idea, because the javascript that launches links also launches image zoom--first. Most people have no idea how to achieve the link, that's inside an image, on a Kindle. So, other than all that, yeah, it's a wonderful idea. /sarcasm. You might wish to explain to your client that a simple paragraph saying something like "a review at" any of those places (only Amazon matters, FWIW) "would be greatly appreciated" or words to that effect. Otherwise, you're just bouncing your head against the wall, aligning those, etc. for very little good effect. Hitch |
