10 Things to
Know
About Abbott ePublishing
|
1. Abbott
ePublishing is a division
of Abbott Media Group, a
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. In recent years, we've
published almost all our
eBooks exclusively in .pdf
(Adobe Portable Document
Format) and some remain in
Mobipocket format as well.
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 DOWNLOAD
AUTOMATICALLY
after PayPal payment is
made. You will be directed
from PayPal to a "secret"
download page for your
eBook. If they do NOT
appear in your inbox
within 5 hours, contact US
FIRST at
publisher(at)abbottepub.com.
5. eBOOKS COST TOO
DARNED MUCH!
We believe that eBooks
will never become
"mainstream" if they’re
too expensive. Some large
sites sell eBooks for
between $10 and $15 - 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
$4.99, and most sell for
about $1.99.
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unpublished works.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. |
