Take a look at UK’s xigxag too, no monthly credits either.

I was on bookshop’s site the other day & it directed me to libro’s site for the purchase. If you didn’t know, libro isn’t much better to creators than amzn/audible & they also promote the monthly credit system.

On their site under ‘helpful info’ they claim authors & publishers will be pleasantly surprised by contacting them via email.
Edit: helpful info>get in touch>I am an author…content at xigxag dot co dot uk

Thank you. Yes, they also have synchronized e & audio in their x-book format. I was hoping you had experience with them, but I think they are relatively new.

Could you comment if UK’s xigxag would treat you equally as well?

You may have missed it, but author Brandon Sanderson made some comments recently.

I think for-profit amzn is not going to help you or anyone else donate your digital book collection to a library.

CORRECTION: per PeterAhlstrom “It’s significantly lower than 45% of retail when you use a credit” end correction
As a customer of libro my only complaint is getting sucked into the monthly credits & then I learned from Brandon Sanderson’s team libro only gives authors 45%.
Could you offer instruction how to link the comment here? I’m not sure how to do it.
Edit: “Unfortunately, Libro.FM pays a very low royalty (based on the retail price) when you use a credit. That makes sense when you set the retail price high, but not when we set it at $15 because that's what people actually pay. So we (I'm Brandon's VP of publishing) had to pass on listing the books on Libro.FM. If they change their royalty for cheap books we'll happily change that.” From /u/peterahlstrom
