It breaks often at the moment. I think they are growing faster than they can handle, currently.

It's especially frustrating for me because I just uploaded my first novel there yesterday.
So all the promotion I'm doing is just going to result in a lot of people getting frustrated and forgetting about it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. |

If it makes you feel any better, I was one who saw your post, spent WAAAY too long trying to download it, gave up in frustration, and went back on today to finish it off. It's now on my reader. Thanks
