Amazon does not want you to read this
For several months Amazon seems to be doing a lot to prevent this “fictional” book from being read. After refusing multiple Book Trailers, not posting ads or Sales Data, and inflating the price by one hundred times, their latest trick is to only show 5% of the text rather than the standard 20%. When the author brought this to the attention of KDP Support and included a screenshot only showing up to page 13 of 260, and a screenshot showing their standard rule of showing 20%, he received a reply saying “We’re no longer accepting requests to increase or decrease the reading sample on books. Your book will continue to show a default percentage of the contents to help customers make purchasing decisions, 10% for eBooks and 20% for paperback and hardcover.”
When the author again contacted KDP Support and again made it very clear that Amazon was only showing 5% instead of the standard 20%, he received a reply saying, “We need a little time to look into the problem with technical team and manually fix it. We’ll reply and send you more information within 2-3 business days.”
8 days later they said they’ll fix it in 2 to 3 days.
As for not posting ads, after waiting 2-months, they offered no explanation as to why no ad impressions showed over 24 days. Maybe when KDP fixes the Look Inside page length to the standard 20%, updates the A+ Content on the amazon.ca page, and corrects the price of the paperback, the author will create another ad campaign. Until then, he will direct readers to the amazon.com page. At least they updated the A+ Content there.
When asked why Amazon may be deliberately blocking the book, the author replied, “I don’t think they want people reading a fictional story that rings so true that it’s scary. They don’t want us to understand how they control virtually everything and why they don’t want decentralized currencies and reasoning AI that dissipates knowledge, stops fake news, deepfake videos, disinformation, misinformation, fraud, identity theft, identifies corporate and government corruption, and more.”

All I can say is I hope you can get this through eventually, unfortunately we live in a controlled world which is getting worse not better. On a personal note I hate phoning places that use A.I. to answer calls, they are useless and frustrating which is what they intended imo.
Good Luckmore are aware than we think (I hope).
