Two shelves

Read a book, hear a book, with one basket

Ebooks and audiobooks each have a section and pages of their own, with categories, free titles and bestsellers. The buyer gets both on one account and sees them in one library. An audiobook is split into chapters and a sample chapter can be played before buying.

Subscriptions

Monthly to yearly plans beside single purchases

Three plans are ready and you set their prices. Titles marked as included stay open while the plan is active, and a book bought on its own stays the buyer's for good.

FAQ

Common questions

Do the demo's books and covers become mine?

The site is built with these pages and sample books so you can see how it works. Then you put your own books in their place, or take the sample data out with one button.

Can I use my own colours and name?

Yes. You change the name, logo and two main colours in the settings and the whole site takes them.

Does it have an English site?

Yes. Every page and book takes an English translation and the visitor switches language from the header.

What else do I need to sell online?

A payment gateway in your own name and a domain. Hosting, upkeep and updates are on Sima.
