And the permit requirement to operate a small R/C toy is ridiculous: this information you don't want the government to have because it will be misused similarly to how social media was abused in the Gatwick Airport (non-)incident. The sensible thing would be classes (Class 1, 2, 3, etc.) of unmanned flying devices, as with model rockets.

If after that time, traction isn't happening: adjust prices or make the offering clearer. If that doesn't work, then pivot/try something else. When/if it gets to $1-2k+/month, then it's probably worth selling to someone for $20-25k and not just apoptosisizing it. It can take as long as 10 years or never for something really good and ahead of its time to catch on with insufficient hustling. HUSTLE! :)
And for heaven's sake, don't throw away a good team if it vibes and flows just because one project doesn't work out immediately.
TGIF! :D

Climate change shouldn't be political or some far-off hypothetical.. no propaganda, rationalization or BS can deny the mountain of evidence that it's an immediate, existential threat that demands immediate, decisive action on the decatrillion-dollar moonshot scale (roughly the total, multi-decade cost of Iraq & Afghanistan).
The odds against an eBook store:
0. Undefensible business model - little/no barrier to entry, few patents, anyone can start such a store
1. Getting advertising and distribution at scale
On the plus side:
2. It might work at a tiny scale for niche categories/communities/local businesses.
Otherwise, I wouldn't waste too much time on it. I would something that's more difficult to copy or emulate.
