Do you listen to your novels (the ones you have written) in audiobook format?

I'm surprised that the figures are that exact and that low.
Also, anecdotally, I always pick up your books at the airport when I fly through the UK, and I haven't spotted that one. They're difficult to find in the US (unless I go on Amazon and pay Bezos his cut).

Do you get paid more if it actually becomes a successful series or is that just not relevant to your income?

That is exactly what I said when I first saw it -- it's basically Portal Knights with Chipped (the Minecraft mod). I liked Portal Knights and I like Minecraft.

I don't know anything about this book, but I am going to get a copy.
I also thoroughly believe a 120 page trade paperback "choose your own adventure" book called "You Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $8.95" would be immensely successful.

It's not too bad. The worst part is chugging PEG. The shitting isn't great, but the sleep you get is the deepest and most restful...

You are on my "favorite Hermits" list for the great example you set in being kind and generous to your friends. I hope everything is good!

Just a personal anecdote: it's really easy to set up and use, but not quite as turnkey as Plex. I manage Navidrome, Plex, Audiobookshelf and Kavita (for music, movies/TV, audiobooks and ebooks, respectively) and it hasn't added huge overhead.

Kavita is Plex for books, so family sharing can come from anywhere. 🙂

Ahh, I saw the reply about "no eink"... so I have used the Lenovo Tab repurposed with Lineage instead of their bloatware filled default Android distribution and it was pretty snappy. Whatever Android tab you go with, getting away from the default install and Google owning your data is good...

Kobo Libra Colour? I think its Android under the hood, and with Kavita on an Rpi running Ubuntu to manage what you're reading across devices? I am slightly biased because I set this up for my 3 kids and wife just before Christmas and gifted them a library of unlimited books sharing between them...
