    New things are coming from the tech giants that will definitely have an impact on us digital makers - in this episode we'll discuss Amazon's newest serial publishing platform, Kindle Vella, and whether it's a good deal for the writers.

    02: Who Owns Digital Content, Virtual Gucci Shoes, and Wide vs KU Publishing

    This week we're diving into some news stories featuring my favourite topic, the future of digital assets and products! From buying shoes that only exist in your phone to creating a digital secondhand book economy, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to developments in this field. Our feature topic this week is the choice that self-published authors make regarding going wide or exclusive with their books. There's a lot of good reasons for either choice, and I'm going to share my observations after 6 years in the self-publishing industry. Fun! News Stories: - Cricuit Subscription Update - KDP drops MOBI files - Amazon Music & Merch, Twitter introducing shoppable posts - Who owns digital products? - Gucci launches virtual pair of sneakers & what that foreshadows For more info check out digitalmakermedia.com (currently under construction but up and running shortly).
