  1. News Summary: Bookshop.org Sales Surge 55% to $70 Million; E-books Now 5% of Total Sales

    We start the week with some good news that segues interestingly out of the news that many indie authors have found alarming at the end of last week. The indie corner of the internet has been filled with little other than discussion (much heated) of Draft2Digital's decision to introduce fees for new and low-activity accounts in the face (it claims) of a vast increase in artificially generated content.

  3. Writers and book folks,
    I'm looking at Bookshop.org affilate program, as in affilate links on my website for books that I'm recommending as related to my podcast episodes (plus my own books!), and I'm wondering:

    Is there no minimum initial sales required to join the affilate program? Like 3 sales in 60 days or something.

    This seems too good to be true, but I find no mention of it online.

    Thanks!

  4. Lilbits: Intel Wildcat Lake specs leaked, Pixel 11 and Onn 4K Stick leaks, and would you buy a Bookshop.org eReader?

    Intel’s Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake processors have been incredibly popular with makers of budget mini PCs, Chromebooks, and other entry-level computers. With up to eight 12th-gen Intel Efficiency CPU cores, these cheap, low-power chips brought big performance gains over Intel’s earlier Atom, Celeron, and Pentium Silver processors.

    But they’re starting to show their age, which is why I’ve had […]

    Might I suggest using this link to buy it instead?
    bookshop.org/p/books/medieval-

    Bookshop.org funds local bookstores, doesn't exploit workers and isn't run by someone helping fund an American dictatorship.

    PS. I'm not affiliated with BookShop.org in any way, other than being more philosophically aligned with them than companies / billionaires like Amazon / Jeff Bezos.

  19. I've used Bookshop.org in the past, but now they've decided to go down the DRM route with their ebook offering.

    What a shame. 😞

    George... how can I have been following you for ages and this is the first I'm hearing that you've created a kids book? And a unique and touching sounding one at that?

    Clearly I need to interwebs more.

    For anyone interested, here's a (non affiliate) link to it on BookShop.org, an awesome site that's already generated >$30M for local bookshops, and the perfect counterbalance to Amazon:
