Our Services: E-book Retail and Distribution

E-Book Retail and Distribution

Having an electronic version of your printed book is not the end of the line in terms of what Printondemand-worldwide can do for you.

Having an electronic offering is not enough in this day and age.

At Printondemand-worldwide we work directly with e-retailers making your e-publications available globally, earning you revenue from their sale.

Once your e-book is set up in digital form and uploaded into our digital repository you are ready to utilize our retail and distribution service options.

How does it work?

We feed title information (metadata) via direct feeds to all of the largest e-wholesalers and e-retailers in global markets.  We now have over 230 in our list.

You then decide the sell price and discount range.

At this point we deduct our fee (20% of net price)*. On each purchase of your e-book title(s) we then pay you the remainder. No hidden charges, just pure revenue in your pocket.

This service is completely non-exclusive, giving you freedom to evaluate it at any point. For Example:  

  • Illustrative Finance Model Only
  • You decide the Sale Price (less VAT) = £12.99
  • You decide the Discount range e.g. = 35%
  • Net Price = £8.44
  • We deduct 20% of net = -£1.68
  • We pay you = £6.76

 

Typical discount range to include all epub channels is 35-50%. Please note Kindle Amazon terms apply

Net - after retailer discount and any download fees levied by the seller are deducted at the point of download and deducted from the net price

VAT (if applicable) is applied at the point of purchase by the retailer

* Our fee is for handling multiple feeds to retail partners, preparing and supplying your metadata files and processing multiple payments from multiple retailers, whilst providing full reporting on every sale made to ensure total visibility for you
