Different than traditional eBooks, and more like print books, DEAs (Decentralized Encrypted Asset) are “minted” for the customer at point of purchase. This eBook is then owned by the reader, and not rented. This matters because the owner can then sell the DEA on the secondary sales market. And unlike selling used print books, Blockchain technology allows for an automatic royalty split, and the author can get paid in perpetuity a percent of the resold book in perpetuity.
