What is an NFT eBook?
An NFT eBook is a digital book whose ownership is recorded on the blockchain as a non-fungible token. The book itself is a normal, reflowable eBook (EPUB) you can read on your computer, phone, tablet, or in VR/AR — the NFT is your proof of ownership. Unlike a traditional eBook “license,” an NFT eBook is genuinely yours: you can keep it, display it, or resell it, and the author automatically earns a royalty when you do.
Do I need cryptocurrency to buy a book?
No. You can pay with a credit or debit card through Shopify checkout or Crossmint (which also supports Apple Pay and Google Pay), or with a Dapper Wallet balance funded by card. If you prefer crypto, you can pay with FLOW from any Flow wallet. Either way, the NFT is delivered to your Flow wallet.
What wallets are supported?
Flow Wallet, Dapper Wallet, and other Flow-compatible wallets. For Published Names on Flow EVM, MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet are also supported. If you buy by card without a wallet, one can be created for you from just your email.
What is the Genesis Library Pass?
A lifetime membership NFT — live on Flow mainnet now — that unlocks the Published NFT library: eBooks, magazines, articles, comics, and exclusive content, plus early access, members-only airdrops, and VIP perks. It's limited to 10,000 passes and costs $25. See the Genesis Library Pass page for details.
Where do I read my books?
Right on publishednft.io, in the built-in reader — with themes, font controls, table of contents, text-to-speech, and an AI Reading Assistant that can summarize chapters, answer questions about the story, and generate study guides. Many titles can also be experienced as audiobooks or in immersive 3D/VR/AR.
What is a Subscription NFT?
A pass for recurring releases from a specific author or publication (for example a magazine or comic series). While you hold the subscription NFT, new issues are airdropped to your wallet or unlocked for you on schedule. Subscriptions have a set duration (for example 3, 6, or 12 months) and are tradable on the marketplace until they expire.
What are NFT Bookmarks?
Collectible bookmarks designed by artists. They save your place in your eBooks, appear inside your books in 3D view, and can be displayed and collected for rewards.

What is a KYC-NFT (NFT ID)? (planned)
A planned identity NFT for age-gated content. Users would complete a KYC check with a provider such as blockpass.org and receive a non-transferable NFT that verifies their age on the platform. It would only be required for adult-content access — never for regular books.
What is NFT staking? (planned)
A planned feature that would let you lock up NFTs in exchange for token rewards. Details will be announced when it ships.
