Amazon recently added a feature to their Kindle book market.

If you were looking at a book, one of mine, say, and clicked on the book to get more information, at the right you might see this:

<embed>

If you click on this, you’ll get a choice:

• get a link
• embed on your site

The link provides the same screens as “peek inside” on the page. So I could add this to a web page. You, the reader, could jump directly to the book and peek inside.

I may actually add this to my website, as a second choice. See the next option.

The embed provides something much more interesting: html. If I put this html on my website, it displays the cover of the relevant book. If you click correctly, it will use enough screen space to avoid awkward line breaks. You can read a portion of my book. If you click on the right spot, you can be ‘in’ Amazon Kindle and purchase the Kindle version right there.
Beautiful, you say, and I agree. But there is a catch.

The display of my book includes over forty pages of poetry. In a book of roughly sixty poems, that’s a lot of the store given away.
For this reason, I’ve chosen not to implement this option.

I have tried to let Amazon know that this is an issue for me, and will be an issue for all authors of relatively short books. A child’s picture book would be given away entirely. Many small book authors will feel, as I do, that the giveaway is excessive.

Now for the question, which for once will (imho) not be a dumb one.

Does anyone know how to reach the intersection of

Marketing at Amazon, and
Website Maintenance at Amazon

to get such an issue even listened to?

I think my question will go into a marketing bean counter’s inbasket and get filed in what we used to call ‘drawer thirteen’.
