when I send a book from calibre to my kindle cloud, my email address shows up in the

rosemaryknits · 10-30-2020, 10:59 PM

A month or so ago, I updated to 5.something, noticed that DRM removal didn't work any more, so downgraded back to 4.23. From that day forward, every book that I send from calibre to amazon shows my email address in the place of the author, on the MYK page.

is this a setting somewhere that I've overlooked? I feel like I've looked everywhere. I'd sure like to get the author showing back up again. When I search for an author's name it doesn't get found. I've been using Calibre forever and this never happened before. Just since I downgraded from 5 back to 4.23 which I had been using for quite a while before this upgrade/downgrade day.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

This was caused by a change at Amazon. It has nothing to do with calibre.

AAahhhh thanks so much for this. It never occurred to me that it's an amazon problem. Thanks for your help.
