Moskbnea | 72 comments Are the ebooks from Dungeon Master Guild and DriveThruRPG good enough for my reading challenge?

Before I try to make a new thread to add new books I want to ask.

I don't know if it is a more information anywhere about the books there. I know only this places to buy the ebooks. A lot of them don't have a ISBN (example: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/2678... ).

May I report this ebooks or should they not to be added?

These are downloadable ebooks, yes? Not interactive items that must be viewed via an app?

Moskbnea | 72 comments These are almost pdf-files. A pdf-viewer is enough.

Downloadable ebooks -- assuming they can be downloaded from an acceptable source, like a publisher -- can be added to the database. Is that the publisher?

Moskbnea | 72 comments It's for me hard to say I only buy ebooks there. I haven't bought any print-on-demand yet. In my opinion is the platform a kind of both - seller and publisher of selfpublishing-ebooks. But as seller more as a publisher.

There are ebooks that were written just for this platform - there are ebooks from other publishers too. As example the ebooks from "ulisses spiele" (germany) are to find there too - they also are to find in the e-shop from ulisses spiele. If I buy an ebook from ulisses I find the ebook in my profile in DriveThruRPG too.
There are ebooks not to find anywhere else because the writers are fans of RPG and they write contents - adventure, (homebrew)rules, etc. for D&D or another RPG stuff. I don't know how to classify.

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments for some books they seem to be the publisher - with the Dungeon Masters Guild brand https://www.dmsguild.com/browse/pub/8...
at least they call themselves that (that logo on the left with "Verlag" above)

in the About us (https://support.drivethrurpg.com/hc/e...) they seem to be a lot of other things to but Dungeon Masters Guild seems to function as publisher.
so, the DriveThrough thing is not a publisher but just something like parent company I guess
