I will leave an Amazon review when I get the book I ordered. Wow this gets complicated!? I am sorry you have had such trouble with what should have been a straightforward publication. I hope you get some income from the Amazon version?
Yeah the complicated part is the legal exposure especially if somebody is willing to cause trouble (Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation, short SLAPP). And finding good council for international law and anti-SLAPP is neither easy nor cheap.
But I just want people to read it and make it easily accessible; even find ways to offer it for free. That would not be possible with a publisher, because of rights, but now that I self-publish, honestly, I can do with the book what I want, such as make it freely available :)
So in the end, I guess it should have always been like that.
I am not entirely sure how to do that, since the voice over was already generated from text-to-speech. Will look into it and see what can be done on substack audio.
If you want, I could send you the raw document of the text and maybe you can use some LLM or translation software to translate? If that is any help at all, just drop me an email at lableakfever@gmail.com

Thank you, appreciated!

There needs to be closed captioning for these sessions. Its very tough if you have hearing issues to otherwise listen to the broadcasts.

Excellent work and extremely powerful to make this book available for free
Hello,
I would like to know if you plan to translate your book into French. I am a French speaker, and I am genuinely very interested in your book.
Thank you for all your work (I use Google Translate to read your articles), and thank you for making your book available free of charge.
Hi, sorry at the moment I do not really have any plan or opportunity to translate into French.
Hi, okay, no problem, I understand. Thanks for your reply.
