Any authors here?

Do we have authors/people interested in writing a book here?

We've just launched a platform for authors, where you can do a Book ICO (pre-sell BOOK tokens that are granting access to your book on the e-reader).

Interested if someone would like to publish a book on the blockchain?

Are there specific specifications for being a book writer on your site?

Everyone can qualify, but the success of the Book ICO campaign is highly depending on the support of the author's community.

Well, this is a new idea. But using blockchain for publishing a book, what for? It waste to do that. If using blockchain store the copyright, it maybe happen. Btw, good luck to you and your idea.

I happen to be not an author but I love reading books and novels. A lot of information that I got from reading, maybe from this reading habit will arise skills how to compose good and right so that it can be enjoyed by readers.

On your website, it is stated that the cost of owning a book is 10 USD (via that book's token). Imho, that's a bit steep. Most Kindle launches retail for USD 0.99, and even the pricier ones daren't break the USD 4.99 barrier.

Just my USD 0.02.

Wow, really? Ten whole dollars? That's really steep. Just when I was already getting really interested. I will be looking forward to more opportunities though. I'm an author myself. And doing my stuff under an ICO project would sure feel fantastic. I hope the cost of owning a book on the site gets subsidized really.

Here's the deal breaker, the fly in the ointment, that exposes the flaw in this particular ICO business model, (at least prima facie):

As a writer you hope for more sales. So, more tokens is your joy.

But, as a token holder, you revel in scarcity. The lesser the number of tokens, the costlier they become; so, in direct contradiction with your first joy, the lesser the number of tokens, the more valuable they become.

Apart from these cross-purposes, the essential fact remains that a published book, especially when it's online, depreciates in value. So, invariably, not only will the number of tokens remain more or less stagnant after the initial release, they will also rapidly dip in value. And, we haven't even factored in online book piracy into the equation yet.

Happy investing, DYOR!
