Hi there,
do you intend to list the books on f.e. Amazon one day? Will Authorship be available in other languages? Since the website is in English i had to do a translation and explanation to many of my friends to convince them to sign up (or even invest in the ICO). Most people's english abilities are not that well so they can understand all the terms ;-)
How about the risk of publishing to many "crap" books in the future? Since, in the old fashioned way, a publisher actually reads the script and then decides (sure, mostly for monetary reasons, I know) to either publish it or not. Same thing with translations, if anyone can signup as a translator and does a bad translation of a book? Does anyone read over it and confirms the quality?
Hi,
Our intention is to compete with Amazon one day.
Once the platform will be launched it will be made available in several languages, that won't be a problem.
Regarding the books quality, every book will go through an initial inspection before being listed. And once it got listed, readers reviews and ratings will determine if a book remains or not listed on the platform. This way we can eliminate the bad ones. As far as translations go, every translator will earn up reputation points based on the quality he provides. Te higher the reputation, the more trusted a translator becomes and more sales he will attract. Readers will be able to rate the translators. Also, several pages of the book will be provided as a preview before one gets to buy the book to get a sense of the quality.
