On the one hand, I want to make money.
On the other hand, I understand that making everything available for free would be much more aligned with the Project Gutenberg philosophy.
I left my job, living on the savings, and in the last year listenly made only $400 ~= $35 MRR.
Although I was not doing much marketing.
I'm dreaming of it making $1k, $3k, $5k MRR.
Right now, I set the price to be 50% of the API cost, so I would make a profit starting from the 3rd same book purchase.
But maybe I should make it fully social project, get some donations, and treat it as "lead magnet" to monetize something else.
I'm open to your suggestions!
