According to recent studies, if you buy from Literal once, there’s a 90% chance you’ll buy from them again.

I just made that up; I have no proof, but I also have no doubts—just my experience.
Giving a book as a gift is always a good option, and no one can change my mind about that.
Literal is a Cuban startup that brings literary works you love to life. In Cuba, this is a blessing because there is no Amazon, and modern titles are hardly produced by printing houses. None of what you’re thinking is available here. A few months ago, I made my first order and was delighted with the quality.
Now you can use Distriator, so even more reasons to order again.
A few months ago, I reconnected with a very special person I hadn’t spoken to in years. Since then, we’ve been catching up.
Among the many conversations we’ve had, the literary topic came up. This person told me they didn’t like to read.
Immediately, I thought they hadn’t found that book that would hook them, that they hadn’t fallen in love with a good story.
So, the goal? Find a book that they might like.
In one of our many conversations, they mentioned wanting to learn about sales, and it hit me like an apple falling on Newton's head.
The chosen one would be Sell or be Sold
Maybe it’s not the best book on sales, but it’s quite suitable for immersing yourself in this world. Being a (relatively) short book, it comes with some good advice and can refresh some others.
I liked it, and it helped me change my mindset towards sales. In my case, I couldn’t watch YouTube, and buying a course and reading online is quite complicated these days.
If I could achieve something similar with this person, I’d already accomplished my goal.
I searched the Literal catalog here and saw that it was available; I just had to convert the price to HBD to enjoy Distriator.
The last time, I couldn’t do it; they activated it shortly after my purchase. Things happen. I knew I would buy from them again, so nothing to regret.
I contacted the team on January 6. The entire order process was completed very quickly. Since I had already purchased, they reminded me—what a nice touch!
The service was top-notch; now I just had to wait for the agreed time (up to 30 days).
On January 28 (22 days later), I received the much-anticipated notification: Order Ready!
We arranged for delivery a few days later, and before February started, I already had my next gift.
Everything took less time than expected. So, I was super happy.
The truth is, once I placed the order, I stopped worrying about the time. I had experience with them and trusted they wouldn’t fail, and they didn’t. They exceeded my expectations once again.
As I mentioned, you can now use the Cashback system from Distriator at Literal.
A well-deserved addition.
You generate HBD by providing value on the blockchain; you can invest the profits in knowledge to keep growing or just have fun and get cashback in the process.
In my case, I used the cashback to make a Power Up (I’m addicted to it).
Even so, this was one of the more negative parts of the experience. The connection in Cuba is a headache, and uploading photos to the Distriator website through Keychain becomes a challenge that can only be overcome with patience.
More than once, I wanted to abandon the website, but I wanted the cashback to make a Power Up. So, have patience if you’re on my team.
If you’re wondering how the gift went, well, it was the best worst gift they had ever received.
Who thinks of giving a book to someone who doesn’t read? Well, I do.
It wasn’t that simple, though.
Once the book was in my hands, my sister packed it as if it were from Amazon. Before that, I decided to create a small playlist to motivate my special person to reach the end.
A few weeks later, I can say that the goal is being achieved. The book was the right choice; they loved the topic, and the playlist did its job.
Give a book as a gift if you can.
If you’re in Cuba and reading this, Literal is your best option to make it happen.
What’s the downside? You have to be patient with your order, and the cashback costs a little. Other than that, you won't go wrong. Literal takes care of that.
To make the waiting time worthwhile, I think I’m going to order more books so I can forget the time.
Now it’s your turn... Would you give a book to someone who doesn’t like to read? What would you do to attract someone to reading? Let me know what you would have done in my case. I’d love to read your comments.
Thanks 
Read you soon!
