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.

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.

Hall of fame: here are all the excerpts that were considered but ultimately didn’t make it to become the cover image for the Joe Konrath Books publisher page on Alexandria. We love all of them. (Here you can see the one we chose to be the cover image—you’ll be able to see why! ❤️‍🔥 http://alexandriabooks.com/publisher/joe-konrath-books)

Hi @amelie I have now signed up on Alexandria and submitted an excerpt of my book. Unfortunately it didn't allow me to add a second file (the abstract). I hope I can get this across to you guys somehow. Looking forward to experiencing what it feels like to be an author onchain.

A bestselling thriller author onboarded over 200 people to web3 in less than a week. That’s 200 people who had never interacted with web3 before, now creating wallets and truly owning their digital libraries for the first time. @jakonrath did it by creating new onchain editions of his classic titles for his fans. He also shared with them why decentralized media means truly owning their e-books. Bringing great IP onchain onboards people.

Last week we launched Hardcover Redeem: onchain confirmation of a physical collectible. Buy a book onchain and redeem for a matching signed physical copy, the only one that exists in the world. Alexandria builds ebooks that readers can truly own, which means their access is guaranteed (not by us as a platform, but by the technology). Now their access to the physical format is guaranteed too.
