Share Person Books

Mike Bloomfield

Is there a way that the community can share their personal books once compiled? Kind of like the existing "Reading List", but to be able to swap user-made library resources. Or is this a copywrite concern in the event that someone's book isn't legally all their own?

We're still finalizing the policies. But in general, the bookstore is for your own content. If users start uploading public domain stuff we haven't done yet, it will destroy the market for high quality editions we might do. This ends a major source of revenue for Logos, and limits all the user's to possibly lower-quality editions. If we fight quality by allowing multiple people to submit their own editions of the same PD books, now the store gets cluttered with hard-to-distinguish multiple editions of the same works. You might take notes on a low quality edition and then find a higher quality edition available later, and then want to move your notes from one to another. And to distinguish between good/bad editions people would start building "brands" of editions (even if the brand was just their name), and then we're creating a big free-for-all marketplace that generates no revenue.

Etc.

By the way, the Files forum has many Personal Book (PB) threads with docx source files plus http://www.stilltruth.com/topics/docx has some more docx files.
