@heiseonline Entschuldigung, aber ist es eine gute Idee, mehr Menschen in den Amazon-walled-Garden zu schicken, wo sie direkt in die Abhängigkeit kommen? Mag ja sein, dass es da ein hübsches Tool gibt, aber das alleoine ist kein Grund, sich von einem US-Unternehmen abhängig zu machen. Sagt den Menschen doch wenigstens, wie sie plattformübergreifend frei publizieren. #publishingwide #Selfpublishing #Amazon #ChokepointCapitalism #Enshittification

Is KDP Select/KU just a backdoor path to Amazon monopoly?

Have any authors done comparisons between publishing wide (maybe Draft2Digital/Kobo Plus VS KDP/KDP Select) for initial releases?

I know some authors just pick one thing and stick with it. And some genre's are almost exclusively KDP Select these days.

Interested to know if it is such a vastly different market share for your genre that it isn't worth it. And if it is worrying that your exclusivity benefits Bezos.

HA! Es war tatsächlich doch nicht meine Schuld, dass die Bücher von #Tredition an Amazon ausgeliefert werden. Ich habe gar kein Häkchen falsch gesetzt, weil es nämlich gar kein Häkchen (mehr) dafür gibt! Tredition schickt die Print-Bücher seit zwei Jahren immer und automatisch auch an #Amazon. ... Das ist natürlich doof. :/ #PublishingWide #Selfpublishing #PoD #PrintOnDemand
