hi @amelie ! very cool that you're building this system out! My questions: are e-books a sustainable source of revenue for writers? how would you suggest writers leverage crypto/blockchain tech to earn revenue along the way of writing a large project like a book?

Hi @amelie Do you think we will have incunabula ebooks? If the answer is yes, would be because they were the first paving the way? I think one of the first books on web3 was https://opensea.io/collection/lit-project-one What do you think about it?

Addendum, I just had a piece come out today where I discuss in more detail how owning ebooks works with decentralized technology and why the Amazon policy change highlights how it's so important: https://digitalfrontier.com/articles/digital-media-ownership-amazon-kindle

Rapid fire here! 1. Why should books be onchain? 2. Do you see the ability to put books onchain as a way to open up doors for creators that might otherwise be closed? 3. What is a book that you haven’t brought onchain yet that you really want to and why? 4. As somebody that buys a lot of books but never reads them any advice of getting into a rhythm of reading more.
