@patrickstewart This is a dilemma for me. I like how easy it is to buy Kindle books and start reading quickly. They have my payment info saved, and it's just easy.

But I'd prefer to support authors directly, even if it costs 5 dollars more.

For me to choose a direct purchase, it would have to be almost as convenient as buying on Amazon. No account creation, plenty of Apple Pay and PayPal support, and easy to open on all my devices.

@tylermumford @patrickstewart have you heard of BookFunnel, some of the LitRPG authors I follow use it. Does everything without an account if you want or 1 account and anyone author can distribute to your BookFunnel account or email (no account sign up needed, but if you do it will pull.all your books right away.

It's more a distribution method, but if you setup a store to sell, this could be a way to send to a user easily. it supports epub, mobile, pdf, and audiobooks

@yulian @patrickstewart Oh nice, that looks like the right idea.
