  • I think the early access model has worked so far, (meaning Rowling and her lawyers have allowed it to happen). I suspect if the money being made exceeds a certain amount they’ll probably sue Patreon or something. Unless patreon’s terrible business decisions cause it to collapse first lol.

    5 years ago all authors dared to do was to publish another book and advertise it using their fanfiction. Occasionally they’d ask for Kofi too.

    Rowling already stopped a certain wiki site (which she admitted to using herself lol!) from publishing a kind of encyclopaedic book on the world of Harry Potter iirc. Though it could be argued that they were just reusing content which is the closest thing to plagiarism but not plagiarism.



  • Yeah, it’s silly and odd and likely done to push customers towards formats that they have greater control over.

    Those epubs that aren’t really epubs, randomly disallowing azw3 files (that they support officially!!!) from being downloaded directly from the kindle’s built in browser and other restrictive behaviour are part of this. That’s why I’m eventually looking to enable epubs on kindle once the people at mobileread find a way to do it. Apparently calibre can be set up to send files too via email so that’s another option.
