Which format is the book upload in? I recently worked with some pdf parsing, so I know for sure that works well, although I have to test out parsing one page at a time. Later on we can look into epubs.

Where is the book stored? I'm still going back on forth on storing the books on relays, a relay of our own or a database

One question that I do not know the answer to is does the author publish from a specific npub associated with the book, or from their personal npub.

Currently multiple profiles is not widely supported in nostr clients.

I actually have epubs working instead of pdfs, but the structure is not always a one size fits all. Do we want to use kind-23 for markdown support or do we post everything as kind-1 plain text?
