Don't they take a huge chunk out of the money made? Or is that Scout? I'm not posting my work there yet because of that. Perhaps it is just best for unknown authors, who might switch over the traditional way after they get out there. I don't really know what to think.
No, if you read the TOS it specifically states Amazon can't sell it, and you can remove it at any time, you retail all rights except the standard issue license you grant to Amazon needed to provide the service (which you grant to any other similar service) The service is free. It's a direct Wattpad competitor. Presumably they will make their money when the books get pulled and placed for sale. You are obviously giving up your first publication rights, but if you don't care about those then it's moot.
You MAY be thinking of Tablo.
I don't understand why people think Amazon is so slimy and the "worst thing to happen to writers"- that's a huge, broad stroke. Could I get an education on this position? Or is it the usual "self-publishing is lame, the only legitimate authors are the ones who go through the traditional publishing route" stigma?
