“It’s not just Indie bookshops though. It’s all our small local businesses. The cost of convenience, of next day delivery and maybe a saving of a few € simply isn’t worth it. We will lose ourselves. A lot of shops and businesses shuttered in towns and villages in Ireland already.” - Fiona Doris

I just finished setting up an Itch.io profile for my writing. Ebooks of some of my work will soon appear there, starting with the five book bundle of The Wizard's Scion, on April 11, 2025.

I find this option for publishing a little odd, but I like the fact that people can pay extra for my books if they want to tip me.

The selectable royalty split is also very nice.

“…my upcoming essay collection won’t be published until July 1, and yet somehow Meta has already accessed it to train its AI. … How in the hell did LibGen, and therefore Meta (and perhaps also OpenAI) get their hands on not yet published work?” #books #publishing. #ai #copyright #IPTheft

Let me bottom line it for you without some of the polite in the article: Libraries would be fucked, and more importantly, so would faculty who may rely on books and/or publish them.
