Hello – I’ve spent the morning looking into Kinga’s service, and I’m wondering if anyone out there has tried it in addition to (if this is possible) or in lieu of IngramSpark. I have two titles on the IS platform right now, and I’m wondering if co-listing is a good idea. Or, again, even possible! Thank you in advance to anyone in the know who responds to this inquiry!

Is there some trick to getting sound on this one? This is the only one I have found so far that will not produce sound between the introductory and ending music and narrator. This video is completely quiet between 0:32 and 24:56 min

I appreciate the look at the global perspective, especially outside of the Amazon platform. I’m imagining many writers, especially those struggling with looking past the actual creation aspect to marketing, wide-eyed at trying to understand blockchain and artificial intelligence. But if we’re going indie (and “disrupting” traditional publishing), then we have to step up and embrace all of the disruptive technologies.

I found a focus on international markets useful! – plus more on AI and chatbots

Harvard and Google Release AI Training Dataset with Public Domain Books, Raising Copyright Questions: Self-Publishing News with Dan Holloway

Any process that improves by being trained on a set of materials will only ever get as good as the materials it’s trained on will allow. That’s as true of machine learning algorithms as it is of human beings. This week’s news that Harvard will release a dataset of 1 million volumes for AI training highlights efforts to address inequities caused by the need for high-quality training data.
