What is a Book ICO?
Book ICO is
the next generation Kickstarter for eBooks.
ICOs took 2017 by storm. Book ICO is the next generation Kickstarter for eBooks. When your book is a token on a blockchain, you can pre-sell it to your followers, who support you and look forward to release.
Funds can help to increase the quality of self-publishing titles and help some books which would never be published to see the light of the day.
When you buy a token or several tokens, it will be your access key to download the book to your Publica reader available for Android and iOS.
You can also send the token and therefore the book to a friend, unlike any conventional ebook.
You can also sell it on the secondary token exchange and depending on the total circulation of the book tokens, your token can even grow in value if the book becomes collectable.
