The way amazon works, once you hit the "publish" button, it takes anywhere from several to 72 hours for a book to go live on their marketplace. There's no possible way this was done same-day. It's either a crazy coincidence, or...
Respectfully disagree. I have published several books and products on Amazon. When you create a new product page (ASIN), it is live within 15 minutes.
Hmmmm i've published 120+ books, am a full time author. I've very rarely had one go live that fast.
But get this: the publication date is something one registers when applying for an ISBN. It's not a date auto-generated by Amazon itself.
So, a self-publishing author could register their book with ISBN, get an ISBN-13 number instantly, while entering ANY publication date they want, and then work to get it up (digitally) on Amazon after that.
I think we'll find that this book was NOT available before Sept 11, despite what the 'publication date' says.
