no way i would read an entire book, to write a small summary, and then get only 50% of "profits" (even if it is changed to 85% (still says 50% for me)). On top of that there's no clue how much that would be. You're basically asking people to work on spec for have of some unknown future profit. The word "distributed" makes me concerned too because you may mean, " we take all the profits and distribute them evenly across the people who wrote summaries" which could have dramatic consequences for pay vs work.
Without any real numbers i see no reason to believe that this would result in anything more than working for WAYYYY below minimum wage. Remember, it takes a while to read a book and you're asking me to do it as a way to "make money".
Also, i don't understand how someone "liking" my review converts to "profit" are they paying to "like" it? That seems unlikely. If not... i'm not seeing where money ever enters the system, and thus how profit is ever generated and thus why i should ever expect to earn anything from my work.
