Ebooks and costs

We don't normally make ebooks or do ebook conversion, since that's done cheaply and well by a range of large conversion and software companies, or can and should be done by publishing companies in-house. We help publishers plan and quality-control outsourced ebook-creation, or help with in-house skills development.

So, before you invest any time and money: if you have specific questions about ebooks, let us answer those first. We'll listen to you and help identify exactly what you most want from digital publishing (e.g. increased turnover, wider distribution, market share or visibility, new markets, lower costs). Then, drawing on our research and experience, we help you identify exactly where you need to start, so that you do not waste resources on inappropriate research, technology or services.

 

Print-on-demand distribution

Print-on-demand (POD) allows publishers to eliminate large print runs and warehousing, by printing even single copies of books for customers as they are needed. These copies are printed and sent to the customer directly. You receive the wholesale price for each book sold, less the printing cost. We can help you set up your own POD distribution system quickly and affordably.
