<p>Amazon ha decidido que a partir de hoy los libros que compran sus clientes sean un poquito menos suyos (no es que antes lo fuesen mucho, tampoco), y yo he decidido que no voy a vender ni un libro más allí 🤷‍♂️</p><p>Además, como intento ser consecuente conmigo mismo, he retirado los tres libros que he escrito de su catálogo, y siguiendo el espíritu colaborativo del Fediverso, los comparto ahora con vosotros de forma gratuita. A continuación os dejo un enlace a disroot para su descarga directa en epub (no hace falta que tengáis cuenta para bajarlos). Cada libro está en una carpeta que contiene el epub, la portada y un pdf con la sinopsis:</p><p><a href="https://cloud.disroot.org/s/YdbStYSNMHAjkWd" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="cloud.disroot.org/s/YdbStYSNMHAjkWd"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cloud.disroot.org/s/YdbStYSNMH</span><span class="invisible">AjkWd</span></a></p><p>Si alguno de los libros os gusta estaré encantado de leer vuestras impresiones.
