KU Exclusivity Recently Became Slightly Less Exclusive

Okay, this happened a week or two ago, but I felt I’d better check very, very carefully before believing it.

But KDP recently eased up on the KU exclusivity requirement, thus: Ebooks can now be in KU and ALSO they can be distributed to libraries. And I don’t know how exactly libraries handle this because I’ve never borrowed and ebook from a library, but I do know it’s definitely a thing because there are a bunch of library ebook services. Here are the ones Draft to Digital distributes to:

OverDrive

Odilo

cloudLibrary

Baker and Taylor

Hoopla

BorrowBox

Palace Marketplace

And therefore what I am doing this week is enabling all those library services for all the Tuyo-series ebooks. And it may take days or even weeks for the ebooks to go live, depending on this and that, but shortly this will be an alternate means of reading those books in ebook form for anyone who wants to avoid Amazon.

I’ve been slow to do the Draft to Digital paper editions for the more recent Tuyo-series novels, but I should and will do that as well (soon! really!) and therefore if anyone wants to buy paper copies, but not from Amazon, that too should shortly be possible.
