iTunes for Authors is a clown show...
Apple iTunes for Authors is a clown show run by clowns. You'd think that a company known for making computers would know how to create software that worked like almost every other company. But no. They say, "Publish your books through Apple iTunes." But when you try set up an account, it's a complete nightmare trying to validate, access and establish an account to do that. I've already created more than a dozen book titles through Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, so I thought it would be nice to establish an account with Apple Books. But what a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you try to set up an account, the sign-in process traps you in a loop. Eventually when you find a workaround, the system then makes you set up a 2-step authentication process, then no longer recognizes the same password I've been using all along. Then when I find a workaround for that, they ask you set up a payment method, but then doesn't recognize the card info and tells me to contact Apple. Yeah, right? You mean there's a phone number to call for Apple support? Can you find one? How do these guys stay in business? I know. It's because they assume they're the only clown show in town. Too bad for us, though.
