And the post to go with it: My First Item On SteemFiles
Have you thought of integrating paying with upvotes?
I have. It should be such that you vote-up a degraded version in order to get a given file. Like listen to a small sample of a song and vote it up in order to get the complete MP3. It otherwise seems wrong to vote up content before you evaluate it.
That's a great idea!
Wow this is a really great advancement for the steem blockchain. Nice job! Resteemed
This sounds cool, but I'll have to check it later. Couple of spelling issues in the first paragraph for premium and valuable.
I will use your service shortly @steemfiles and if I understand it, I publish the first chapter with a link to Steemfiles in the chapter? What if books are already published on Steemit in their entirety? I have several and it is too late to put in links.
Once published on Steemit, it is already out there. Yes, you could publish the first chapter, and put a link to the rest of book on steemfiles. What do you think of an up-vote for the rest of the book?
I just scanned it...looks like a great idea.
I wonder if it could be more closely integrated with Steemit? Perhaps have a SteemFiles tab?
What kind of ebook format do I upload?
There are any kind of files allowed. If you upload a screen shot as well, it will give the buyer a graphic as an illustration.
Amazon Kindle (ebooks) has a reader...
the reader accesses a library of kindle files.
how does your setup work?
suppose I had an original ebook (and I do)
how would I provide it for sale?
As a user you download the book over HTTPS after paying. I don't know whether Kindle is a walled-garden or Kindle can also open files you download with a browser.
thank you.
which format is most popular?
HTML, text, epub, pdf?
That's a good question.
one more thang.
I just tried to log in
for a newbie (and I ain't)...it's damn confusing....
it's confusing to me.
needs to be simplified I expect...or you lose a lot of customers at the door.
