Can I sell the G-Books® you create for me in the online G-books Store?
The best way for us to promote the concept of G-Books is by offering a large and diverse catalog of interesting titles for readers to purchase from the Internet's only official G-Books® Store.
We always reserve the right to refuse listing a title at our sole discretion, but we rarely need to exercise this right.
So we do encourage you to consider listing your G-Books in our Store. We list only certified G-Books in our store, whether we create them for you or you create graphical e-books on your own and have us certify them.
These are the general requirements for including a certified G-Book title in our Store catalog:
It must be a certified G-Book® title. We only list authentic G-Books in our Store because we believe mixing other types of e-books or graphical e-books would distract from the unique G-Book identity;
You are free to set the price at which your G-Book sells in our Store. However, we encourage you to keep your price as low as you possible. This helps to maximize sales and discourage illegal copying. Perhaps the most common reader complaint about today's standard e-books is that many publishers price them at or near the price of their printed versions. Most readers feel e-books should be priced less than printed books because they do not involve the costs of traditional paper, printing, and distribution. Of course, we spend many hours creating each original G-Book so we certainly recognize that G-Books represent a significant investment in time and equipment during their initial creation, and ongoing costs in cataloging, disk storage, and bandwidth for distributing them from our large Web site. Our standard price for the G-Books we produce from public domain originals is $4.99. G-Books created from copyright books usually sell at a somewhat higher price, but we encourage you to consider pricing them under $10 to maximize your sales.
If we agree to list your authentic G-Book(s) in our Store, we charge you two fees: (a) a quarterly store display fee and (b) a per-copy fee for each G-Book we sell.
Store display fee: The fee for a 3-month listing is $15 per title; for six months it is $25; and for one year it is $40. Three- and six-month fees are nonrefundable. If you cancel an annual display fee, you will be refunded $10 for each remaining quarter (excluding the current quarter), at the rate of $10 per remaining quarter. If you have a large number of G-Books to list with us, write to us to negotiate a volume discount.
Store sales fee: From each copy of your G-Book that you sell through our Store we will deduct $2. The remainder will be your G-Book earnings. Your earnings will be sent to you quarterly, within three weeks following the end of each quarter, for each quarter in which your total earnings equal $25 or more; otherwise your earnings will rollover to the next quarter and accumulate until the minimum $25 level is reached or exceeded. Then your total earnings will be paid within three weeks following the close of that quarter. This payment schedule helps keep our accounting costs manageable and thus keep our fees to you as low as possible.
Note: These fees apply whether we created your G-Book for you or you created the graphical e-book and we certified it as an authentic G-Book.
If you already have a certified G-Book and want to have it included in our Store, send us an e-mail describing the title(s) you want to sell.
