Let's fucken go! DRM free right?
Physical books, shipped to your house!
DRM free books you can get from torrent sites, Blossom servers or Anna's Archive :)
So the value proposition is pay with bitcoin lightning, and not on Amazon, not a niche curation / collection?
exactly. i have a pretty excellent economics, stoicism and sci-fi collection curated (because of my interests), but mostly we'll have general interest books, best-sellers, etc as well as stock any special requests that visitors have as long as our distributor carries it. so the inventory will evolve with visitor engagement.
I'm thinking of what could be done to bring book links where books are being mentioned *without spam. All I've come up with is an opt in Shopstr client that renders book titles.
I see and like that purchases support a humble local bookstore? How's it work?

I don't want to say too much for now, but the gist is that I have a relationship with a local brick and mortar bookstore and I know how difficult it is for them to stay in business. Whitepaper Books will devote much or all of its profits to that business :)
That's pretty cool I'll be following along. Stocking inventory and shipping is difficult and expensive so im very curious to see how you handle this :)
