Feedbooks has beefed up its self-publishing side and also allowed readers to contribute to its public domain section. Check out a recent blog entry.
If you want to self-publish in DRMless ePub and some other popular formats, this option is well worth examining. Feedbooks has tried to simplifying matters so that even nontechnical people can produce high-quality files. Shown here is Anne Whitehouse‘s Fall Love, a novel published through Feedbooks.
Speaking of ePUB, the format standard from the International Digital Publishing Forum, Feedbooks has joined the IDPF. Way to go, Hadrien! I’m looking forward to Feedbooks having a healthy influence on the IDPF to increase the flexibility of ePub and address such issues as reliable interbook linking.
Feedbooks has distributed more than two million ePub files since adding support for the format a year ago.
Summary of Fall Love: “…tells the intertwined stories of four twenties-something artists and professionals adrift in the bad old pre-AIDS New York of 1980. From a summer of love through an autumn of deceit and regret, we follow the lives of Althea, Jeanne, Paul, and Bryce from self-sacrifice to self-knowledge.”
