Very much agree with the author. Started with audible 20 years ago, and have noticed that I have been stripped of all my rights and the rights to own my books and do with them as I please after Amazon take over.

I'm happy to support the author at his preferred marketplaces.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I agree with Cory but Audible is unstoppable

As a creator I’ve run into many ACX issues and have wide with much of my catalog. But, I can’t afford to not publish to all platforms like ACX. Perhaps some day. Excellent essay and I highly recommend this to all creators.

Totally agree with Doctorow
