ALPHAreader | 14 comments Hey

I'm updating some previously out-of-print books that have been re-released as e-books.

I was wondering if it's possible to make the new edition the primary page for the book? Right now I'm updating the ebooks, but the old print edition still comes up as being the primary edition in the search engine. I don't want to delete the old paperback, obviously, but since only the ebook is available I want to make that the first image/search that comes up?

Any help would be much appreciated!

The primary edition of a work is automatically the one that has been shelved/rated/reviewed by the most GR users. There is no way to change the primary edition of a work manually.

Well, thanks for clearing that up. You just saved me wasting many Panadol tablets!

Thank you!
