Another example of how big tech is just corrupted to the core.
Actually sounds like a good book to read!

Amazon will not carry it because he doesn’t agree to their terms.
Using that as clickbait lowers my opinion of his work.
Amazon is not refusing to carry it. The author isn’t selling it on Amazon. Pretty big difference.
Ordered! I love reading his books.
This is just advertisment
ordered
I will order it too, sounds like a good book honestly.
Uhm, how do I order it?

This link just says Forthcoming…
I can’t find a link to buy the book there. I was trying…
It’s kind of wonky. You’ll need to click the green Back this project button first and then click on a picture of whatever you want to get (ebook, hardcover etc) and then another green Pledge button will appear.
Thanks. Backed it. It seems to currently be at 10x what he needed. :)

Appearently it’s also big tech’s top word.
But you know, being on Lemmy reminds me of how it once was. We can avoid these fucking leaches and use our own apps and websites.
Amazon won’t sell it on Kindle because Cory won’t let them use DRM. It has nothing to do with the content.
Amazon won’t sell the book on Kindle because Cory refuses to publish it with DRM.
He’s the freaking author… why won’t they let him sell it without DRM?
Because their audiobook platform requires DRM. They don’t want you to own the audio file. If you owned it, you could take it with you, you could share it, and you could copy it.
Just found out they charge a 75% commission (60% if you sign an exclusive contract with them). Oh, and they get to completely control the pricing. Guess that makes them the real authors.
I think another word needs to be created or used to describe the process, like “badification”
Fecalization.
Are you trying to enshittify “enshittification”?
Best of luck: Cory’s not about to change that word now. If you want to try introducing another term it’d better be catchy.
PS: everybody poops.
You are wrong.
