We migrated nearly 23,000 accounts and over 79,000 titles in that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automatic migrations have made it up to accounts last logged in prior to August of this year.  These leaves about 5,000 accounts left to automatically migrate and we will do those at the beginning of next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have just under 24,000 accounts that we are not yet able to migrate.  That's an improvement of 3,000 accounts since the last update.  Working on solutions for these accounts will be our top priority. This will be the most tedious part of the process. Around half of these ineligible accounts are those with accounts at D2D already. This is the group we are creating all the merge tools at D2D for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to migrate before we automatically migrate you, please login to your Smashwords Account page or Dashboard and complete the migration survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't see the migration survey, that means we are currently unable to migrate your account.  However, if you would like us to investigate why we can't migrate your account, please reach out to support and we'll find out for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As automatic migrations progress, we are diligently working on clearing out reasons we can't migrate some accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the last update, we have migrated 22,955 accounts and 79,270 books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invited - waiting on user: 4,992<br>Invited - waiting on us: 5<br>Migration Processing: 63<br>Successfully Migrated: 98,610<br>Currently Ineligible to Migrate: 23,853<br>Total: 127,523<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>280,467 Books have been migrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>SW Author Dashboard<\/em><strong><br><\/strong>We are creating a dashboard at D2D for authors that send titles to the Smashwords Store to easily access features and information that they were accustomed to via the Smashwords interface.
