Note: You're welcome to promote your book through third-party websites and other services, but we encourage you to monitor the tactics they use to promote your books. You are responsible for ensuring that no tactics used to promote your book manipulate the Kindle publishing service and/or Kindle programs. We advise against using any sites that "guarantee" a return on your investment. We support our authors' efforts to promote their books worldwide, but at the same time we work to prevent any manipulation of the Kindle publishing service.

Publisher-directed purchasing activity: If we determine that purchases/borrows of your book are originating from accounts that are attempting to manipulate our services, it may result in termination of your account and loss of royalties.
