Just taking a hot glance, Barnes and Noble Press just dropped some big updates to its system.

Print books have to have a min price of $14.99.
Authors will be limited to publishing 100 individual titles in their system. (One title includes print and digital copies, those are not counted separately.)
And they will not publish any public domain content. You have to own full copyright, no partial copyrights. IE no gen AI, be it full or partial.

I'm very happy with that email.

Seriously, how is this still a thing?

California should get rid of the jungle primary. What an irritating mess. It sounds good in theory if you limit it to 2 Democrats who then can finish Top 2 and lock out the Republicans. But what they didn't count on is that Democrats have as many egomaniacs and weirdos as any other political party and will gladly run 38 candidates.
