Abbott ePublishing

1. Abbott ePublishing is a division of Abbott Media, a Manchester, New Hampshire-based publisher of downloadable, affordable electronic books (eBooks) in various formats.

2. We launched in late March, 2009 with a solid inventory that is always growing.

3. We publish eBooks in .pdf (Adobe Portable Document Format) and Mobipocket formats. See our “Formats” page for more information on these formats.

4. Books offered by Abbott ePublishing include original non-fiction and fiction works, as well as some value-added public domain classics. We believe in selling a unique and eclectic collection that will have wide appeal to many readers.

5. The sale of electronic books is in its infancy, and we believe it’s the way many books will be read in the future.

6. We believe that eBooks will never be “mainstream” if they’re too expensive. Some large sites sell eBooks for $15, $20, or even $25. That’s absurd, and it prices consumers out of the market, especially in these tight-money times. We believe the consumer deserves more for their money. That’s why almost all of our books will be sold for under $10, and most for under $4.

7. Books are only very rarely offered for free on the Website because we believe all books have value, and the few “public domain” books we offer here have value-added content of one sort or another, such as cover art, editing, interior art, and often, original commentary and introductions. We firmly believe that “free” eBooks are often worth every penny, and that good content is worth paying for.

8. Authors who write for us also get a fair shake. Our signed authors are paid 50 percent of the sale price for their original works. That’s higher than other e-publishers, and a much higher percentage than traditional book publishers pay out.

9. We love to published previously unpublished works. See our “Become A Signed Author” page for more details about singing with us.

10. We use PayPal for sales on the Abbott ePublishing Website. If you would like to send us a check or valid, U.S. bank-issued money order, please contact us at publisher(at)abbottepub.com.

11. eBooks are viewable on many devices, including phones and handhelds, including the Amazon Kindle.

12. All sales are final, for obvious reasons. It would be impossible to “return” an electronic book. But if you’re not satisfied, please let us know why, so we can make improvements.
