Ok, so I know it's been a while since I have published a paperback book. Has something changed? When I did my other ones I just used what the ebook had and created a cover for the paperback. Now when I submit to have one published, I get errors about metadata and the book not being what is represented. What in the heck am I doing wrong? I've never had this issue before. Isn't that the whole point, to have the two exactly the same?
I should not this is a bundle. I can link to it if need be.

Things probably have changed, since amazon is constantly in a state of flux, and Createspace is being switched over to KDP Print. If you've never used KDPP before there are definitely differences between it and CreateSpace. Make sure what you have written on the cover is exactly the same as what you type in for the metadata, and what you have typed out on the title page. If it's a bundle, you may need to include the titles of each story and use the word "bundle, or collection."

Yep, did that. Like I said, the print version matches the ebook version exactly. I've done others in the past and never ran into this issue.

Hmm. I'm all out of wisdom then. Write in or call for help?

I'm trying to publish again hoping it was someone who simply didn't read anything. If it gets kicked back again, then it's time for a support ticket.

Erotic paperback bundles are one thing I have not tried. Do people actually buy them?

Yep. I sell around 6 - 10 a month. OF course I only have a handful in print so not sure how many I would actually sell if I did them all as paperback.

Amazon is having issues due to the switch over from CS to KDP Print. People are having all sorts of problems, most of them just glitches or overwhelmed servers. I'd double, triple or quadruple check every single thing, and try again. I suggest waiting a day, try again, and if it doesn't work, contact them and see if someone can see something you don't.

I finally got it through. Apparently you can non longer say "bundle" for a print book.

I changed mine to collection. It went through after that change.

Well, technically it's not a bundle, and since Amazon has been cracking down on stuffed books it's likely a trigger word now. Collection is good, but I'd avoid "compilation", too. And it won't be a "box set" unless you have it printed especially with an actual box to put it in.
