"Foam book" sounds fun, though, I might order extra copies for my friends if it turns out to be one of those. I'll get my people on the case for my own books - thanks for the tip.

Happens all the time. Darn it, in my deranged clicking I somehow managed to one-click a copy of When Freddie Became Jesus and then change the delivery options to super-saver free delivery.

IRL I have two published books out there (so far, working on number three as I write, well, not "as I write this second" you understand, but "at the moment"..................I'm not boring you am I?) Anyway, one of mine is a paperback and was listed as such on Amazon, now listed as a hard cover on Amazon. The other is a "firm cover" (admittedly an unusual category, but it is an unusual book) which Amazon took great pains at the time to deliberate over and conclude that "firm cover" was the appropriate description - now showing as "mass market paperback". I cannot help concluding that you. jrod, have led to the utter disintegration of Amazon's ability to distinguish cover types. This is presumably a ploy on your part to confuse the world into buying your book rather than, for example, mine. I can scarcely control my rage.
