I logged into manning.com today and noticed that you can buy "tokens". What are tokens you ask?

Manning is doing microtransactions. You can buy tiny pieces of a book.

I just saw that today. Tokens cost 1¢ each, and depending on the size of the content you want to reveal, it could be only a few tokens or several tens (or maybe hundreds) of tokens.

My link to "what are tokens"
on
https://www.manning.com/dashboard
just goes
https://www.manning.com/token
and does not provide an answer on "what are tokens".

The token ledger of "0" does not reflect the '500' in my profile???

Is this the same for you?
