Looks nice, but there are three things that I absolutely need for any book publishing platform.
* The ability to sell multiple packages, each with different files
* The ability to capture buyer's emails
* The ability to set my own arbitrary pricing
No publishing site on the internet does this, and I am not about to give up these benefits just so I can have some automated convenience.
- duiker101 13y ago>The ability to capture buyer's emails why? I just want your book, why do you need my email?
- davidw 13y agoAs an author, it's beneficial to at least ask you for it, so that you can be added to an email list and be appraised of new projects and sent other relevant information. Lots of people are happy to sign up for email lists like that as long as the content is mostly informative and not too much of a sales pitch.
- davidw 13y agoNathan Barry uses Gumroad, as he suggests in his book 'Authority' for the above reasons. It's not really a 'book' publishing platform though, or at least it's not specific to that. I'm not entirely convinced it's the best thing for most authors, but that's a longer post for another time.
- bionsuba 13y agoAuthority is where I got these requirements ;), and yes, its best suited for technical books IMO.
