The Possibility to Purchase Your Books on Other Platforms.

Hey Nicholas,

Is there any chance you would be willing to consider selling your content on other platforms such as Kobo?

If you are willing, would the kindle unlimited contract prevent you from selling the entire Prison Ship Sheol series on these platforms or only the first 2 books?

Best Regards,

A fan

Hi Chill,

Actually the issue is the exclusivity bonus. If your sales aren't exclusive to Amazon it cuts your royalty percentage roughly in half and I don't think selling it on other sites would make up the difference on that. If you absolutely cannot buy it from Amazon, send me your email and I'll arrange something for you.

Hey Nicholas,

Thank you for your response.

Not wanting to lose half of your royalty income that comes from the exclusivity deal makes absolute perfect sense. Especially considering that Amazon currently has the largest market share for ebooks by quite a large margin.

I wanted to reach out because of Amazon’s recent decision to remove the “Download & Transfer via USB” feature. I’ve read far too many horror stories over the years about people losing access to their Amazon accounts, and thus their purchases, or more recently about them removing ebooks without warning from their customer’s libraries. These may very well be fringe cases, but this behavior has made me wary of purchasing ebooks from them. The only reasonable way I can see to safeguard an ebook purchase is to buy from a platform that still allows their customers to keep a copy on their local hard drive so that they can have the option to side-load their purchase onto their devices.

That being said, I have purchased the first two books on Amazon and still intend to purchase your upcoming books either way. As one of your readers, I wanted to express my interest in other ebook platforms, or if there is a possibility, for customers to have the option to get a copy directly from you or Tohmes Books after showing a proof of purchase.

I created a temporary email address if you still would like to contact me. chilltemp97@pm.me

Best Regards,

Chill
