Things to Know
About Abbott ePublishing
|
1. Abbott ePublishing is a division of
Abbott Media, a New England-based publisher of
downloadable, affordable electronic books (eBooks) in various formats.
We launched in late March, 2009 with a solid inventory that is
always growing.
2. We publish eBooks in .pdf (Adobe Portable Document Format) and
Mobipocket formats. See our eBook formats page
for
more information on these formats.)
3. 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.
4. eBooks are NOT hosted on
a server and DO NOT DOWNLOAD
AUTOMATICALLY.
eBooks are delivered via email, usually within 5 hours or less, after
PayPal notifies us of your purchase. If they do NOT appear in your
inbox within 5 hours, contact US
FIRST at publisher(at)abbottepub.com.
5. eBOOKS COST TOO MUCH! We
believe that eBooks will never become "mainstream" if they’re too
expensive. Some large sites sell eBooks for between $10 and $25 - or
even HIGHER!
That’s absurd, and it prices consumers out of the market, especially in
this economy. We believe the consumer deserves more for
their money. That’s why almost all of
our books cost less than
$10, and most sell for about $4.
6. About a third of our eBooks are
offered FREE! Many of these are ORIGINAL WORKS
found ONLY on this site. Some are heavily edited public domain or
out-of-print works. All are "value-added," and include wonderful cover
art, great editing, and often some very nice fonts that add to the
texture of the work.
7. Authors who write for us also get a fair deal. 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. We love to publish previously
unpublished works. See our "Become a Signed
Author" page for more details about writing for us.
8. We use PayPal for all sales on the Abbott ePublishing Website. At
this time we cannot take other forms of payment.
9. Our eBooks are viewable on almost all devices, including phones and
handhelds, including the Amazon Kindle.
10. 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 and make things right with you. |
