Questions

How much does 1.44 MB hold?

About 240,000 words, the size of one high-density floppy disk. Older versions and the trash count towards it too, so it holds a novel or two, or years of letters and essays.

What happens if I move to a smaller edition?

You keep everything. If you are over the smaller limit, you can still read, download, delete and shorten your documents, but not add to them until there is room. Book details and a WordPress connection are kept for when you move up again.

Are there adverts on the free edition?

No. There are no adverts on any edition, and your writing is never sold, shared or used to train AI.
