Amazon just opened a new library and stoked it with 200 titles from KDP. Also, KDP is finally sunsetting the Old Reports Dashboard. Spotify is looking to make an even bigger splash in the audiobook publishing business, but at what expense? And, I'm looking for five different authors for a case study conducted with eBookFairs where we'll be using their editorial review service for a future video. All that and more in the Self-Publishing News.
