I'm confused as to what your point is. The title had to do with indie books, not indie games. The two aren't really comparable in this scenario because indie games rely on the creativity of the people making them. The reason they're called indie is because people can't afford a large budget because they're not from or related to a major company.
If we take the same definition, as you did, and apply it to books written for developers, then I'm afraid an "indie book" in your context would be literally anything written by anyone on the internet.
My definition was that indie implied a sort of "unknown," as indie games often are.
- kowlo 6y agoIt doesn't sound like you're confused about my point... Indie Books are books published outside of mainstream publishing. You're misrepresenting what Indie Books are with your own opinion of what you want to see on the site instead.
- de_nied 6y ago>Indie Books are books published outside of mainstream publishing. If the books are books for developers, then by now it's clear that they will be sold online. What effect does "mainstream publishing" have on publishing material on the internet? It's the internet. There is 0 meaningful difference if a book has mainstream publishing if both books can easily be listed on Amazon, Ebay, or anywhere else, because it's the internet.
