I've been searching for an answer to this question, and I haven't found a good one. Maybe it's glaringly obvious, and if so I apologize in advance.
Background: I will be setting up a title on Lightning source in the near future. I know that Lightning source as a POD with Amazon is problematic because of the "out of stock" messages or "2-4 week" delay messages.
But I am wondering if I join Amazon Advantage, could I have Lightning Source ship my books to the Amazon Advantage site when Amazon tells me they need more books (assuming I am fortunate enough to sell them )?
Based on my reading of the info. at Lightning Source, it seems that if I choose the "print to publisher" option, then this would not be a problem. But the rules and guidelines at Amazon are very specific about packaging and shipping of incoming books to the Advantage site.
Or would I have to have Lightning Source ship to my location so I can turn around and ship them to Amazon?
Does anyone have experience with this? Again, my apologies if this has already been discussed around here. I suppose you could just point me to the thread.
