Introducing Buk, an E-book platform with STEEM integration

Greetings,

Do you know who said "Let them eat cake"?

Marie Antoinette? Unfortunately no, it was Jean-Jacques Rousseau. But how do you know if it was really said by him? How about proving it by a citation link?

"Then let them eat pastry!"

• Rousseau, Jean-Jacques, The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Complete, Gutenberg Edition

If you click the above citation link, your screen will be similar to the following screenshot.

I am very happy to announce that this new digital content platform is now integrated with STEEM blockchain. Here are the specifics about recent updates.

Buy E-books With STEEM/STB

There are about 60,000 free public domain classics as well to make your evaluating the platform easy. After your evaluation, please consider showing your support by dropping your STBs and STEEMs here.

Markdown Support

To ease your citation sharing, now you can copy your hightlight in Markdown grammar. Before proceeding with your highlights, open up Settings dialog by clicking anywhere from the web reader and then A icon from the top navigation bar. You will see that there is "Copy as Markdown" toggle button. Set it enabled and start highlighting your favorite lines.

Reward Deep Hyperlink Articles

Using our voting account @buk-love, we will vote on e-book reviews or notes containing hyperlink citations. Please tag your article with #buk for our easy finding. Deep citations can be used in your Facebook, blogs, emails and even in Evernote and OneNote. Now, you don't have to open up your Kindle to find the highlights anymore.

Here is another example of citation for your reference. I just highlighted the line, clicked Copy and then just pasted it here. Please click to see the content directly from your web browser. No plug-ins or apps are required. I hope you may utilize our link citation capability leading your friends into the book content naturally and then we will find your articles and reward them properly.

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

All Crypto-Currency Profit distribution (Under Development)

We are planning to transform publishing industry by implementing all real time profit distribution system which splits each book sale amount to its stakeholders in real-time and in STEEM/STB. This will hopefully further advance a team based publishing efforts. No monthly reports or currency conversion problems in global market anymore.

Independent authors and publishers can utilize our platform right now. The platform is fully operational and we distribute 70% of sales amount monthly(at the time) directly to your bank account. Also, you can utilize our Deep Hyperlink capability in exposing some content from your publications into social media.

Thank you for reading our first posting to global Steemian Friends.

Sincerely,

Minsu Kang(@minsukang), Founder/CEO of Buk.io, Inc.

Musk wanted the first three models to spell "S-E-X", but settled with "S3X" because Ford owns the trademark to "Model E".[249] Making the next vehicle the Model Y means that the model names will spell "S3XY".[250]
