Hey guys I had a quick question about refund rates on Kindle.
I published my first book 3 days ago (17,000 words, part of a series).
So far I have 10 sales which is better than I expected but I also have 3 refunds.
It's not formatting. The book is formatted perfectly.
The book is also written perfectly (grammar, spelling).
I can't think of what else it could be. No feedback has been given from readers yet.
I know it's an extremely small sample but I'm a little worried.
My genre is a subtopic of Erotica that doesn't have that many titles in it.
Edit - I read 3 or 4 short novellas in my niche after publishing and I did notice that they get to the "action" a little quicker than I did. I built up characters for about 15 pages before any "action". I'm changing it in part 2 but that would be the only thing I could think of unless this is just how the refund rates are in erotica.
