      I just used Backerkit to send links to ~1,500 backers to http://dropbox.com , where I've uploaded copies of the Escape the City ebooks. Currently talking to logistics companies for help with shipping the ~3,000 hardcopy books.

      3/ At $9.99 they're not cheap, but these books are MASSIVE. Each has ~800 full color pictures, PDF CAD diagrams, etc. In fact, bc of the size of the data, the download fee Amazon charges me is ~ $14.00 ... so I lose money if I choose 70% royalties. ...so instead I choose 30%

          7/ Just upgraded my dropbox account to "professional" for $20/mo. I think that should do it. Apologies to anyone who tried to download and failed. Give it another shot now.

          14/ meta-answer: I know nothing and make n=1 guesses in the darkness, taking stabs and hoping for the best object-level answer: my thinking is that these are aimed at 99% aspirational buyers and 1% actually doing it people, max profit comes from affordable price & 100x sales

          16/ absolutely ! The files are already uploaded at Amazon; I'm just not turning it on until KS backers have their copies (I don't want to be unfair to folks who paid up front and let randos order later and take delivery sooner).https://twitter.com/TheBigGayAl/status/1386331166291136515 …

          18/ hmmm ... giving more thought to doing logistics myself talked to local USPS and they'll send a truck out to load up would be sorta hilarious to take delivery of 3,000 books and set up an assembly line in the garage
