I am a huge fan of bandcamp, I buy most of my music because I can download the FLAC files and put them on my streaming server. I was rather disappointed that instead of providing polished, DRM free ebook files but went with a web based version that I cannot transfer to my ebook reader.
I would be more than happy to not only pay the authors but also for the work that you guys do by providing nice clean files.
There is another small thing that bugs me. Why did you choose to emulate books in your reader even down to turning pages? IMHO this is rather unnecessary, just presenting the book like a long article with well done typography would have been enough. (the reason, again IMHO, that ebook readers have virtual pages is that their displays are to slow to have smooth scroll)
- marvindanig 8y agoI'd never read Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban like an article or a PDF file. No one will. This way I can… at least my nephew will. We've discussed this subject at length over here: https://bubblin.io/concerns https://bubblin.io/concerns Thanks!
- all2 8y agoI read a little of what you link. I have a concern: you are ignoring the current state of the market and hoping your new standard will be adopted. I have an eInk reader that is about 10 years old. It is serviceable. I put most of my eBooks on that for reading. I won't consider a service that doesn't have the epub format. The first thing I do (before buying an eBook anywhere) is check to see if I can get it on my e-reader. I already have to jump through hoops to get my Amazon purchases onto it. I won't use your service because it doesn't have what I need. And there are many people like me.
