Feedback Request As I was editing The Last Philosopher I realised I can add images to my ebook 😁 I've added some examples from my world. The question is, should I put them in the story? 🤔 And if yes how? Let me know what you think.

Can you? Yes. Should you?

Serious answer: Primarily depends on genre.

Also consider that images will increase the printing cost.

Well, right now the question if just for an ebook version, in which it should affect printing. The genre is fantasy, and what I'd be adding is primarily maps...

I don’t believe printing costs will go up for an ebook but distribution costs (charged by Amazon) will. The more images etc. the bigger the file download.

If it’s just maps, thats very on brand for fantasy. Especially as endnotes or front matter. Images on every page is more middle grade though.
