Please allow me to rant...
Currently I'm having TMF re-narrated for the 10th Anniversary Edition.
At Audible, TMF does very well and has THOUSANDS OF REVIEWS.
Apparently, in order to update TMF at Audible, they want me to DELETE the old version, and yes, ALL OF ITS REVIEWS, and just upload the new version.... like it was a brand new book. Zero reviews. Zero algorithm suggestions. Zero "also boughts" exposures. In other words, the book goes from highly recommended and highly visible, to a piece of invisible self-published trash. Financially speaking, it likely means I kill Audible as my biggest revenue channel.
And I guarantee you, this is NOT how big publishers are treated, erasing 1000's of reviews.
Obviously I'm not sure I'm willing to take this risk.
