From PG to CreateSpace--Bhagavata Purana

Many of you helped me get the "Bhagavata Purana" into PG and also helped me create an index for the Create Space version of the book. After three proof copies I finally have something good enough to sell: https://www.createspace.com/3859442 It should be available on Amazon sites worldwide in a few days with "Search Inside The Book" so you can see how it came out. I have also created a cleaned up e-book version which is awaiting approval by Amazon. Since Amazon already approved two other people who just slapped a quick and dirty cover on the existing PG EPUB I suppose they'll approve mine too. In my description I give the URL for downloading the PG version for free and explain why mine is worth .99 more than that. As for the Create Space version I made, it is competing with this: http://www.amazon.com/study-Bhagavata-Purana-Esoteric-Hinduism/dp/1178001865/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1338310548&sr=8-12 and also this: http://www.amazon.com/study-Bhagavata-Purana-Esoteric-Hinduism/dp/1177641437/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1338310548&sr=8-13 It's going to be tough competing with stock photos of railroad tracks and sailboats. At least mine is cheaper! It looks like my e-book made it to Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Bhagavata-Purana-Corrected-Introduction-ebook/dp/B0086Q7UTE/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1338310893&sr=8-32 James Simmons

Ah, that's good to know. I'd assumed that they wouldn't approve books with links to free copies, but I'm pleased to be corrected. I put up a Kindle version of "Antigua and the Antiguans" on Amazon when submitting it to PG because Kindlegen can't produce a well-formatted version without a lot of help, particularly the awkward genealogical information in the appendices. I did use the description to note the incompleteness of a recent print version though!
