Hey #ebook #readers If given the choice, would you prefer to purchase your ebook directly from the author as an #epub format or would you rather buy your ebook from a digital retailer?Can we get this pool #BOOSTED? It may make a difference on my future...😉 @bookstodon

@patrickstewart This is a dilemma for me. I like how easy it is to buy Kindle books and start reading quickly. They have my payment info saved, and it's just easy.But I'd prefer to support authors directly, even if it costs 5 dollars more.For me to choose a direct purchase, it would have to be almost as convenient as buying on Amazon. No account creation, plenty of Apple Pay and PayPal support, and easy to open on all my devices.

@patrickstewart @bookstodon It might be easier to discover a book through a retailer, but it would be good to have the option to buy it directly from the author.

@patrickstewart @bookstodon and the good publishers do actually contribute to the book, via developmental editing, copy editing, design and layout, art, distribution, as well as marketing and submitting it for reviews, award nominations etc. There is hidden labor of many behind most successful books, and those folks need to get paid.

@patrickstewart @bookstodon I was on the fence on this one, and I voted ebook store, mainly because I have no idea how to add directly purchased ebooks onto my kindle. Include instructions on how to do that, and I would gladly purchase directly.

It is certainly doable, as z-library delivers e-books via email to kindle. I have no experience with it, as I ditched the wretched device as soon as I saw the lock-in clutches closing on me, but those dreadful pirates apparently know their trade.
