    Hi,

    I got your automated e-mail now regarding that you'd fixed the employment case book which we've discussed earlier.
    It still has some problems in it.
    Like that:

    1.
    The chapter-names sometimes use a whole page, (like on page 152, for Enclosure 13).
    This looks a bit un-professional, I think.

    2.
    I can't see the last two pages, (page 221 and 222), on your online Digital Proofer.
    (And page 220 says Proof printed by CreateSpace.
    But I guess that's normal, and that this page isn't going to be in the real book).

    3.
    It's the same here, as with the Norwegian books I got from you, with DHL, today.
    Where are the page-numbers?

    These aren't real books if they haven't got page-numbers, I think.

    I've just stocked the books you sent away, to be honest, in a storage-room, with an air-mattress I don't use any longer, etc.
    I don't think it's tempting to send anyone some books without page-numbers.

    Then I'm going to look stupid, I think. 🙂
    (Sorry if I'm to frank).
    Just to update/complain.
    Regards,
    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    also I see now, that on the back of the book 'Jenny Skavlan i Finland', then the word 'andre', (meaning second), has been split up, on two different lines.

    That looks a bit unprofessional to me, if I'm allowed to give some feedback, while I look at the books.

    'Skifte etter Magna og Holger Adeler also has the same problem'.
    Also it doesn't seem to be any page-numbers in the books.
    What causes this problem I was wondering?

    Regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    DHL were on my door now with four boxes which I signed for.

    The boxes contained:
    10 x Min Bok 3
    10 x Min Bok Andre Bind

    10 x Jenny Skavlan i Finland
    10 x Min Bok Første Bind
    10 x Skifte etter Magna og Holger Adeler
    So no Min Bok 2

    But it's perhaps out of stock?
    Even so thank you very much for the in total 50 books I got from DHL now.
    Best regards,
    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    yes, it's ok if you change it to 'paperback-edition', I guess.

    It would be very fine to get the free books sent, so that I can send them to the library/government in Norway, who usually buys books published in Norwegian.

    I have recieved some royalties from you now, so I see that I get my royalities, at least.
    Do you want me to upload the file again on CreateSpace?
    Best regards,

    Dear Mr. Ribsskog,

    Please let me first apologize for any previous misunderstanding regarding our initial communications and know that we would very much like to work with you to continue the publication of “My Employment Case Against Arvato's Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation.”

    You are still able to include edition information, and it may be more advantageous to include “First edition” or “Paperback edition” on your copyright page. There are no requirements to include a publisher or edition reference within the book; however you are welcome to reference your own imprint or yourself as the publisher. If you would like to reference CreateSpace, you may say "Printed by CreateSpace." As you are the publisher for your work and CreateSpace is a platform for publication, we are unable to include of the phrase “CreateSpace-edition” or references to CreateSpace as the publisher if you resubmit the interior file for “My Employment Case Against Arvato's Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation.”

    For the six available titles within your account that contain “Createspace-utgave” on the copyright page, we ask that you provide us with a different phrase to use in its place, so that we may replace it within each file for free and without removing their availability.

    We are actively investigating the file review inconsistencies you experienced and can assure you that proper coaching will be delivered and new processes put in place to prevent this from happening in the future. Additionally, we would like to offer you 10 complimentary copies of each available title for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you would like to accept this offer and where to send the 60 complimentary copies.

    Regarding your request to remove your title from Kindle Select and be relieved of the 90 day obligation, I have contacted the KDP Executive Customer Relations team on your behalf and they will be in touch with you shortly.

    Again, I want to continue working with you on the publication of “My Employment Case Against Arvato's Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation.” I hope that you will consider our offer to rotate the upside down pages, and remove the additional blank pages at no cost to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly at (843) 760-8240 or reply to this message with any additional questions you may have.

    Sincerely,

    Hei,

    nå driver amerikanerne og 'kødder' med arbeidssaken min mot Bertelsmann/Microsoft igjen.
    Altså, er det noe slags proteksjonisme dette?

    De lar meg ikke være i fred, og sender e-poster seint hver kveld, og krever å snakke med meg i timesvis på telefonen over Atlanteren.

    Det var jo problem med Scribd, som også tulla med den her arbeidssaken.
    Som jeg har skrevet til dere om tidligere.
    Er det riktig at Amazon skal eie både CreateSpace, Amazon og Kindle?

    De får snart monopol på selv-publisering, virker det som for meg.

    Kan dere kikke på dette, jeg får sjokk her, og sender til alle billionærene jeg har hørt om, omtrent.
    På forhånd takk for eventuell hjelp!
    Mvh.

    Hi,

    also an other Norwegian billionare, Røkke, has written messages to me on Google, (if I understood it right).
    And my father says he knows Mr. Gates in Microsoft, (since his woman Solveig from the Scandinavian Star-accident has Mr. Gates' friend as neighbour, my father told me on the phone, in 2005 or 2006).

    So I'm a bit bored of billionairs really.
    So you can rest ashore that it isn't like I get an orgasm if I get an e-mail from your boss Mr. Amazon.
    Just to explain more about this.

    Hi,

    I have asked to escalate, and then I think it's inpolite not to let me do that.
    I have gotten letters from billionares before, (Forbes-billionare Stein Erik Hagen), so I don't think it's ok to be treated in an inpolite way just because someone has a busy schedule.

    Mr. Hagen probably also has a busy schedule, yet he wrote me a letter.
    Maybe Mr. Bezos should find himselves something else to do?
    His not that good at being a billionare, I'm sorry to say.

    Dear Mr. Ribsskog,

    I understand you'd like to discuss this matter personally with Jeff Bezos, but regrettably his schedule doesn't allow him to answer directly. While he does review each message addressed to him, he's asked me to continue responding on his behalf.

    Furthermore, I understand your concerns and feel it would be best to discuss them over the phone to bring them to a speedy resolution. I called you today at 00447905206018 and left a message. Please either give me a call at (843) 760-8240 or provide me with a number and time to contact you. Again, I am available Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm eastern time but am happy to accommodate your schedule to ensure we are able to connect.

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!
    I am in the UK, so I think it's perhaps better, if we correspond by e-mail.
    I'm not happy with a book I have with you now, and I'm not happy with the custommer-support.

    First my book got approved, then they said the orientation was wrong, on the pictures.
    (After I changed the subtitle and used more upper-case in it, on the cover).

    Then I said, I hadn't changed the pictures, in the book.

    Then they said I'd get a one of exeption, since they'd done a mistake.
    But I think they can't say that I'd get a one of exeption, it has to be permanent.

    I also want to add a second foreword now, (to explain about why some pictures of files are up side down), but can't.
    Since then they'll then say the pictures are wrong.
    Since I only got one last chance, to get the book right, really.
    Also there are three blank pages on CreateSpace where as on Scribd, (where I put the book now, after the problems with your customer-support), these blank pages don't appear.

    So the book is 219 pages on Scribd and Open Office Writer, but 222 pages when I scale the book on CreateSpace.
    I don't understand how to get these blank pages away, they aren't on Open Office, so I don't understand what produces them.

    Also, I wrote 'CreateSpace-edition', on this book, (and all my five books in Norwegian, which are on Amazon now).
    But after I complained about my book suddently being not approved, even if it has been approved earlier, and the pages you complained about weren't changed by me.

    Then you said I couldn't write 'publised by CreateSpace', in my book, and removed the text 'CreateSpace-edition', from the first page.
    But that's not the same at all.

    And this text had also been approved earlier.
    So you just made a new, similar mistake.
    How can they do the same mistake twice?

    This obviously just to mess with me, I think.

    If the content have been approved earlier they shouldn't refuse me to get it approved later.
    But this happened twice, even if I got an appology for the first mistake, in the mean-time.

    I've gone to University of Sunderland, and learned about referencing there, and I know that one are supposed to write the edition when one refer to a book.
    And you just remove the edition-name, just like that.

    It's like you aren't serious, or try to sabotage, I think.
    This is a book about my employement-case against two big, powerful companies, Bertelsmann, (and Microsoft), and I don't want to lose control on it.

    I'm a bit wary about it.
    Please don't mess with this book.
    I therefore also want to have it on Scribd now, so I don't want the Kindle library-programme option any longer, for this book.

    Since then one can't have it on Scribd, as far as I understand.
    I only want the 'normal' Kindle-option.
    I also want you to put back the edition-name, on my book.

    And to add a second foreword where it's explained about the upside-down files.
    And the three blank pages to be removed.
    Hope this is alright!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    ok, I didn't understand that this was about the upside down files.
    The reason I put them upside down was because I was a bit stressed when I worked on this employment-case sometimes and managed to scan and e-mail some files up side down.

    I should maybe have written about this in the foreword.
    But I don't want any more problems with this book now.
    So I'll just publish/proof it again I thought.

    Thank you very much for the help!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hello Erik,

    Thank you for your patience while our Technical Services team looked into your files.

    They said that this title was passed for on July 10 with upside down pages in the interior. This should have never been passed, but since it was not caught and the title was made previously available I have put this title back into process and asked our reviewers to pass as a onetime courtesy. If this ever causes concern in production then the title's availability can be pulled and a new file would need to be submitted with all content appearing in the same orientation.

    I hope this information has been helpful to you. As always, should you have any additional questions or concerns, our Member Services team would be happy to assist you. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-866-356-2154 or by e-mail at info@createspace.com.

    Hi,

    this book has been aproved earlier, I just changed the subtitle, so that the words starts with upper-case.

    So I don't understand what the problem is now.

    (Since it's exactly the same interior now).
