Rationale
BookBaby is a self-publishing service that helps authors publish and distribute their books. While it doesn't have a rich text editor or community feedback tools in the same way Medium does, it does offer comprehensive distribution services to major retailers, including Amazon Kindle, which acts as a recommendation engine. It also facilitates monetization through royalties and offers services like audiobook creation and eBook conversion, which can be accessed on mobile devices. The platform also has a Bookshop where authors can sell directly to readers, implying user profiles and search/discovery features. However, it's not a direct content publishing platform like Medium where writers directly create and publish articles on the site's interface for readers to consume within the platform's ecosystem. Instead, it's a service provider for authors to get their books published and distributed to other platforms.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
