It took several days of effort to format, test, reformat, retest, over and over to get my latest ebook ready for distribution. I re-read their manual and design guides again. I tested again and again.

Finally, Monday was the day I had set to upload the ebook. I did and it passed all of their verification checks 100% on the first pass. About an hour later I was notified it had passed the human verification step as well. This was nice. All the effort I put into planning worked - until another hour passed.

A human at one of the resellers found an issue they wanted addressed. More formatting time. More testing time. Another upload. Another 100% successful pass through the automation. Another human verification passed. Then I went to sleep.

This morning I checked and I see my ebook in three of the primary resellers, but it is not yet in the fourth reseller which this distributor covers. Well, close enough for now, so I began the separate formatting effort required for the fifth primary reseller and I uploaded to there. It passed their automated checks and is now waiting for the human verification. I am optimistic.
