One month into the launch of my book. Several folks have been in touch, citing difficulties in obtaining the book from their internet search to purchase.
This led to my enquiry with my publisher; hence, this update to let people know how to buy my book.
Firstly, Amazon is not my publisher. Had I chosen Amazon, the only eBook I would have had would have been Kindle. Publishing through Amazon means doing everything myself—typesetting, layout, designing the cover, etc. I was not confident about doing it alone.
Keen to do a professional job, I used a third-party publisher who turned my A4 manuscript into a book!
Publishing through a third-party publisher meant the eBook choice was much broader—Kindle, Google, Apple, and Windows-based eBooks.
I chose to sell the book through "channel resellers", who purchase it from the printer and sell it to their customers. Amazon is a popular reseller that is used by many. However, there are many booksellers selling my book online. Just search on the internet by the ISBN:
ISBN 978-1803817828
Or use the title: The Right Way Amit Vaidya
Amazon is a global seller. We use the Amazon.co.uk website in the UK, and the price is in GBP.
In the US, it is Amazon.com, with prices in USD.
Both sites offer eBooks and paperback books shipped anywhere in the world. The eBook has a "Look Inside" feature showing sample pages from the book. The paperbook has the same but a button "read sample". The sample pages are taken from the eBook version, so they are the same "Look Inside" sample pages for both the eBook and the paperback.
Either amazon.co.uk or amazon.com will despatch to anywhere in the world as an "International Shipping Order". Choose the country and region of the destination.
If you click "Buy," you will be given an estimated delivery date. However, if you want a quicker delivery date, searching your local Amazon site may be better, as pricing in your local currency may be offered.

If it says "Temporarily Out of Strock" or Temporary Unavailable", do not worry; even if it says "We do not know when this will be available,".
Click buy. This just means they have sold all their stock. They will reorder on your "buy" click and give you an estimated delivery date.
Local Country Site Examples to Buy My Book:
Turkey: It does not appear on the site today. The publisher has no control over which countries Amazon lists it in. In that case, you can order from Amazon.com and put a delivery address in Turkey.
And so on.
