(sh.itjust.works) submitted 1 year ago by clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works to c/books@lemmy.world 38 comments fedilink hide all child comments I want to buy my first ebooks and I have two goals: don't pay Amazon, and give the largest possible cut to the authors. Is there something like Bandcamp for ebooks?
[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works [S] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children) eBay for E books? Huh, I wouldn't have guessed. I'm looking for a sales channel that pays the author, though. Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Other than buying from an author directly, I don't think there's any model that directly puts money in the authors pocket, it's all going through the publisher. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works [S] 3 points 1 year ago I'd be almost as happy to buy it from the publisher, but their website is dogshit. The buttons don't work, the phone number listed is 123-456-7890 and there's no store. permalink fedilink source parent
