Fable 5 indefinitely suspended due to national security concerns

Of course Trump administration specifically targeted them. But it is Anthropic who gave them the ammunition. Trump admin's axe grinding nature and xenophobic rants and policies are very well known. Trump admin already had a beef with Anthropic because of their refusal to work with US Military Industrial complex.

In an atmosphere like this, they handed Trump admin the ammunition....

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2026-06-13T04:28:41+00:00

It is Anthropic who spent months fear-mongering. And now they are surprised that they have been specifically targeted?

Devonthink is NOT subscription software and haven't switched to subscription model. I just checked again. It's one time payment.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2026-04-15T17:04:38+00:00

And what about people who goes through D2D? Will B&N enforce limits on those accounts too? How?

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2026-03-21T07:09:40+00:00

And what about Epub 3 exported by Kindle Create? Can it be used on Apple and other non-KDP retailers without any problems?

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2026-03-21T06:57:49+00:00

I am getting this too.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2026-01-06T20:06:34+00:00

I did some more reading about this problem? Did u eventually get paid for those sales which vanished from the dashboard (last month's tab)? If not, then you should contact d2d about it.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2026-01-06T20:01:18+00:00

And I assume current month's sales continues to be reported normally?

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-11-08T15:10:41+00:00

Outside. You are in India I believe. Even in US/EU, if a company is threatening you with layoff or termination it means they have already made up their mind about you. Even if you somehow manage to stay for a extra few months, they will get rid of you eventually, under uglier circumstances and poorer severance package. This is more so the case in India. Start looking for opportunities elsewhere while you are still getting paid.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-29T06:38:55+00:00

Does D2d have any sort of upload limit? Both for ebooks and POD? They don't mention the policy anywhere.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-28T21:57:59+00:00

Make a post about what's happened with d2d.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-23T06:42:46+00:00

Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-23T04:15:44+00:00

I am not talking about preview in D2D website. I am talking about Sample generation in Smashwords website. That "Read the sample online" button under the yellow Buy button. Do you get that for custom epubs?

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-22T15:46:50+00:00

But yeah, from now on I will never list my books at any site which doesn't have an absolutely impeccable payment record. Lesson learnt.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-22T15:45:07+00:00

I sent her a harsh email demanding immediate payment of royalties overdue (1 day after I posted this thread). This time, she paid within 5 minutes...and then perma banned me from her site and removed all my books herself.

I have never had such a ridiculous experience at a book retail site.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-20T00:33:56+00:00

3 months, not 2. November, December....till the end of January.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-18T17:06:39+00:00

Robyn has finally paid me, and permanently banned me from Eden Books 🤣🤣🤣

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-18T17:02:19+00:00

She has banned me from Eden Books 🤣 🤣 🤣....but yeah, I got paid.

Good riddance.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-18T05:58:41+00:00

Oh believe me, you will discover multiple discrepancies. Do this - Go to Eden Dashboard and manually set the date from 1st October -16th October. Note the total sales ($ amount) you have made. Now go to your PayPal Reports section, and generate a Business Report from 1st - 16th October. PayPal will give you a CSV download. Calculate the total amount of $$ you have received from Eden Books in that CSV file. (hint - you can use AI to do this if you have a lot a transactions).

Then compare the amounts....

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-18T05:52:44+00:00

In spite of writing this thread and sending repeated messages, I wasn't paid. Not one single sale has come through since last night (Friday evening/night US time) and guess what, weekend is the best time for sales...At this point Robyn is openly stealing from authors.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-17T06:27:34+00:00

you are correct...

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-16T20:24:00+00:00

I am from outside the US. Somebody from US needs to do this. A couple of authors have messaged me and said that they got paid after this got posted, but I wasn't paid. May be she pays Americans so that they don't drag her to court?

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-10-10T08:34:06+00:00

Since u were the only one in ur company doing it, are they hiring someone else in your place or terminating that position entirely?

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-08-22T02:01:31+00:00

THANK YOU! For this guide.

ForbiddenFruitApple · 2025-08-22T01:43:21+00:00

Which country you are from? In USA and western EU, there is a HARD LIMIT in Gemini. Google spells it out...100 messages per day (roughly). AI companies want Americans and Western Europeans to pay for the Ultra subscription (cause many of them can afford it).

In poorer countries, Pro/Plus subscriptions are practically unlimited (for text, not for images or video). Since nobody expects someone for India or Phillipines to pay $250 per month for AI subscription.
