ORILLIA, Ontario, Dec. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rick Talbot, author and IT professional, has published a new science fiction trilogy, which includes an NFT included with each purchase. To facilitate this, the author has simultaneously launched Chainreads.com, an e-commerce site where books can be purchased and NFTs can be redeemed (or “mined”). The trilogy, titled “Acts of Love in Faraway Places,” is now available.
With Chainreads.com, copyright and ownership information is aggregated with NFT. This means that an e-book can be given as a gift or sold in the same way as a paper book can. NFT also makes the book independent of a particular bookseller’s ecosystem, putting more control back into the hands of authors and readers. To make it easy for everyone to buy the book, NFT is optional, which allows a purchase to be made by credit card, without requiring a crypto wallet.
More than 1 billion people lack access to a bank account, but many have access to a smartphone. One of these people could write the next great English-language novel. Blockchain and NFTs allow them to be paid as quickly and easily as if they were next door.
“My goal with this website is to show people how blockchain and NFTs can transform the e-book world. Since most people don’t use crypto today, I made NFT optional. That way, anyone who wants the book can buy with their credit card. and then stamp NFT as a second step. NFT allows them to gift the book to a friend, or even sell it used, just as if it were a physical book,” says Rick Talbot, author and creator of Chainreads. “Using blockchain and NFTs, we can make the book world more transparent and fair, allow authors more control over their work, and remove some of the roadblocks facing authors living outside of North America.”
Chainreads.com was created to demonstrate the potential of NFTs in e-book publishing. Rick Talbot is an information technology professional, author and creator of Chainreads.com. A whitepaper is available on and the first publication, a sci-fi trilogy called “Acts of Love in Faraway Places” is now available for purchase (with NFTs) on the site.
