Why are there (comparatively) fewer literary NFT collections than other mediums? Is it tougher to get eyes on long form work here? Or something else

People can better envision a blockchain display case than a blockchain bookshelf. They can take in a work in a glance rather than committing days of free time to read a book. Plus there are tech challenges in minting a book that are still being solved. A new metadata standard, rights management, user privacy, encryption for piracy protection, etc. So much easier to drop a collection of JPEGs. As a result, some people don’t even know that NFTs can be books!

I think in general NFTs are used/collected by people who like to fit everythingn on one (mobile) screen. A multi-page document is just to cumbersome for most who collect to actually enjoy it. I think that's also the source of the emergence of the screenshot essay.

In my opinion, the main reason for this is that NFTs are essentially visual works, not literary ones. The best way to use literature in terms of NFTs is to have a text for reading, and to convert the image that is created in our minds from reading that literary text into an NFT.

Just a few observations from when I was putting spoken word poetry out as nfts. • Longer format content in general seems to be consumed less. Partly because the platforms for discovery aren’t designed for long form work. Attention spans on social media are limited to just a few seconds. And most discovery for nfts happens on social media. • NFTs that do well appeal to the crypto/degen community, which may not have consumers for said formats and mediums. • DEGEN culture seems to be more inclined to fun, shiny, meme-like objects with a lot of gamification involved. Things mostly designed for fast consumption and quick gratification. • And lastly, just something for us all to mull over… What problems for readers/ consumers of literary/long form work does web3/nfts solve? Is it compelling enough to change consumer behaviour from the existing mediums/platforms available?
