No. My understanding is that's a very different project. Think of this more as a library that serves as an ereader to show your own collection. Check it out.
It is. It's a library for all sorts of self-published books, and they've been uploading public domain classics as well.
It looks like your project is just for your own publications, which is absolutely fine. It's similar to having a blog website for just your own articles, but for books instead. And because you aren't relying on someone else's client, you can have complete control over what the site looks like and how the chapters are displayed. Very handy.
I do something similar with my long form articles, using npub.pro so I can have a website to send people to and they will only see what I have written, rather than being bombarded with all the articles that have recently been published, regardless of author.
It looks like you opted to use a custom note kind for this, which is a good choice, since it means your chapters won't pop up on every long form client out there. They'll only be viewable on your custom client.
I probably would have gone a different route, though. I would have used Alexandria's kind 30040 and kind 30041, since those are intended for book publishing, with each chapter being a separate note (30041) and then an index note that associates them together in the correct order (30040). That way you can still have your custom client that only displays your own publications, but people would also be able to read your book, or stumble upon it and start reading it, on Alexandria as well.
This would have accomplished all the goals you stated above, while also taking advantage of the interoperability superpower that Nostr has, allowing the same content to exist on any client that can display the appropriate note kind.
