npub1k4eazeauq0utg93pl3jwrt7mts4892hkv3r973peah0l9z60dkwqhv4d28 (npub1k4e…4d28) A caveat: publishing is all about distribution—how to get your work from author to readers. (Big corporate publishing's actual assets boil down to a fistful of b2b supply chain contracts, which are worth their weight in multi-gram cut diamonds.) A big problem we've got is that distributor consolidation has reduced the available channels: Amazon is now the biggest for books globally. The real challenge will therefore be breaking up Amazon before they strangle everyone else.
