Question for Castalia Unlimited. Will you have a reader available when you launch? I unfortunately bought into Kindle and almost all of my books are in that format. If not, do you have a Reader you recommend?

No. But you don't need one. All of our books are epub and DRM-free. So you can read them on pretty much anything, possibly including a Kindle.

You can read all of these books on Kindle, though you'll have to email it to your device or upload the file on Amazon. On Mac, you can simply double-click on the file and you can read it in books and this will also share it with all of your Apple devices.

Good reminder about Books. I'd forgotten it exists while Kindles met my needs. Now that Kindle no longer allows backups or loaning, I'm starting to replace its library function with Calibre.

The poll isn't clickable for me so I'll just so add in by default.

Ideally, both the physical books and unlimited ebooks posts will be able to be opted in or out. I'm downsizing in retirement, so won't be buying many (if any) printed books, but look forward to reading lots of books via Castalia Unlimited.

With the large number of titles on castalia unlimited a weekly email would be great. A separate email for each release feels overwhelming.

Will the library include audio versions, even computer generated audio?

Considering that we've been putting up to ten books a day on Unlimited, we're definitely not doing an email for every release. We plan to maintain a long term schedule of two new books per day indefinitely and it's a pace we know we can maintain.

No current plans for audio.
