I think publishing to Kindle Unlimited might have its benefits - readers get it for free, but you get a portion of their subscription revenue. It requires it to be exclusive to Amazon for the duration, but might be a way of bootstrapping an audience.

If you weren't planning to do Kindle Unlimited, then I'd say go wide. Amazon is a pain when it comes to reading books. No DRM free content (generally, though they may have changed slightly very recently), and good luck reading it the way you want (e.g. reading offline on Linux is impossible without running a Windows VM). It's also got a lot of people publishing on it - something like Smashwords might have less users, but it's also probably got a lot less competition.

Good luck!

"Ads plus AI is sort of uniquely unsettling to me," Altman said during an event at Harvard University in May 2024. "I kind of think of ads as a last resort for us for a business model."

No cocomelon and skibidi toilet 🥺

It might be a bit rough around the edges, but I'm hoping Matrix wins out on becoming the chat standard.

Thou offer the wisdom to rival the greatest of tomes

I don't know of many Orthodox books, though The Papacy and the Orthodox by A. Edward Siecienski has been on my reading list for a bit. I think it's written by an Orthodox scholar, but I'm not 100% that's the case.

The book is crazy expensive, but the NYPL gave me free web access which I downloaded for later reading. If you do consider it, check out some libraries before dumping three figures on a book.
