>> I'm reading buderi on the internet archive, via library lending. Its truly awesome to use the internet to "borrow" a book in 12 hour chunks, or even less, and read it. Thanks!
Such a fascinating idea! Wonder how many people will pay for 'the lending model'.
ex: pay 1 USD for reading unlimited ePubs 12 hours / 9 USD for a week, etc.
- ggm 6y agoThis is a model kindle floated. Of course, what they didn't tell you is they wanted to keep the revenue, so the books you can read, are the stuff Kindle pays the least outside IP cost for, and not the things you want to read. Amazon's model appears to be "meh: books are fully substitutable goods" and certainly thats how they advertise kindle product to me: "You liked reading Philip Kerr, you therefore may like these other authors <list of knock off books in the style of>" -Guys thats not how it works. Dickens is Dickens. Trollope is Trollope. Trollope is not Dickens.
