Some self-published writers say their income has seen a large and rapid decrease under Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program, and argue that the system is unfair.

Authors: agree or disagree?

*The one thing you shouldn't put at the front of your ebook"

The Pros and Cons of DRM

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management and according to KDP it is “intended to inhibit unauthorized access to or copying of digital content files.”

So, as an author, do you enable DRM or not?

In this article for +The Future of Ink, +Shelley Hitz shares the pros and cons so you can decide.

Do you or don't you?
