Today, February 26, Amazon takes away the right for people to download offline copies of their Kindle books. Today, we at /alexandria are debuting ebook download. Readers can download their copies of the @jakonrath Dark Thriller Collective, because they own them. Onchain means owning your ebooks.

This is the most elaborate event I have ever put together because there are so many collaborators who have generously shared their work, and there are so many little touches I'm so excited about. Please come and put your mark on it!! (Quite literally you can put your mark, there is a communal zine that's later going to be minted)

On Tuesday, @jakonrath and I will be doing a talk about our project of putting the Konrath Dark Thriller Collective onchain. J.A. Konrath is a legendary thriller author who pioneered in self-publishing on Kindle, and now he’s pioneering in web3 by publishing his catalog (over 60 beloved titles and counting) as limited digital editions in our decentralized Library of Alexandria. So far we released his Dark Thriller Collective as limited digital editions and the project has onboarded several hundred of his fans so far, most of whom are collecting their first NFT. Tuesday will be an intimate convo hosted by our friends at @kernel0x but will be online and open to the public. Farcaster friends very welcome! https://www.convo.cafe/rsvp/Mf9uuA09HO

I love our audiobook feature. And I love that so far, the audiobooks we've released are performed by the authors themselves! Both @anacaballero and @deanpat are incredible performers https://x.com/TheArtRunway/status/1909582505474240843

I love the use case where you can pass on exact digital copies, even your entire library, to a lucky collector or to a future generation. Reminds me of reading a book my grandmother read and loved, knowing she thumbed those same pages.

One of my favorite parts of the Konrath Dark Thriller Collective release is all the new behind-the-scenes pieces the author included: original uncut drafts, co-author correspondences. @jakonrath also wrote a new afterword for every single novel in the collective. “I’ve pretty much written an autobiography of my writing career,” Joe said when he had those finished. The new content comprises 250,000 words. That’s the length of three more novels, if you’re counting.

We’ve been keeping a secret. We haven’t announced all the parts of the Konrath Dark Thriller Collective. Now announcing: the Noir Editions, and with them, the debut of free editions on Alexandria.
