News on Draft2Digital and other avenues for publishers of erotica... Alternatives, etc. (I was surprised to learn that D2D bought Smashwords, btw, which I thought of as one of the last bastions of more-or-less sanity.

News Summary: Draft2Digital Introduces New Fees for Account Activation and Low-Earning Accounts
Draft2Digital is one of the most widely known and used platforms for many, if not most, indie authors. So when they announce something, it is automatically big news. And when what is announced is new fees, that is a potentially huge cause for anxiety. This week, Draft2Digital has announced two such fees, the first time they have introduced fees directly to authors. To minimize anxiety, I will take a look at what the fees are and what they mean. You can have a look for yourself on the Draft2Digital website.

Indie author, parent, human rights enthusiast, cancer survivor. Proud Korean, proud Jew. Life's too short, so I block Substack posters as well as NYT posts, and mute BlueSky references. I hate crypto and AI, but everyone else here does, too. Picture is a Mother's Day present from my son and his girlfriend. Foreground is a picture from the Boston Commons.

I used #Smashwords as my distribution platform for my ebooks. (I do not sell anything on Amazon.) #Draft2Digital merged with SW, and I should have known something like this would happen.
I don't sell a lot--I haven't marketed in years--and I can afford the fee. But this is a sign of worse to come. Should I just sell on my website? Or is there another similar service?
