Emilion@davidrevoy @sven_ola Is there a way to buy your books from a EU-based web store? DriveThru is a US company, and in the current climate I'd rather prefer my money to not cross the ocean.
@emilion @sven_ola Hey Emilion, I totally understand, and I would do the same 👍
Unfortunately, for the self publishing books 100% made with FLOSS, that was the only company/solution I found long time ago, before that was so problematic (the Brexit put a lot of tax on the UK print pod). I might need to look for a EU print-on-demand solution soon.
For the version of the publisher Silly Studio (Italian publisher), they just put their Italian/English version in the shop https://sillystudiosofficial.com/shop/
@davidrevoy @sven_ola Check print houses in Poland too. Example: https://www.drukksiazek.pl/ (never used them personally)
Patrick Georgi@davidrevoy I used epubli.de for a few things I wanted on paper and am pleased with the quality I received.
Not sure about colors (I needed b/w), and I couldn't find a way to get their website to not be German though…
(addendum: I just remembered that German publishing has that oddity of "Buchpreisbindung", fixed book prices, which you might have to deal with when publishing via Germany. Far from impossible, but an extra thing to think about, so might not be the best choice…)
@patrick Thank you for the feedback and info! I'll study them 💜
