We’re entering the world of electronic publishing, offering independent authors the industry’s only 100% royalty program.
There’s a new addition to the CD Baby family: BookBaby!
BookBaby throws open the doors to the electronic publishing and distribution world for independent authors, offering the highest pay-out rate for eBook distribution in the industry. Authors will receive 100% of their net sales revenue – paid weekly – generated through all BookBaby’s retailer network, including all the majors retailers including Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Sony, and soon, Google.
To celebrate our debut in the eBook world, BookBaby is offering worldwide eBook distribution for an introductory price of $99, a $50 discount off the regular price of $149. More details can be found on BookBaby’s website: www.bookbaby.com
Our new BookBaby division focuses on products and services for the independent author community. Over the past decade, CD Baby has paid out over $170 million to indie musicians worldwide, and has helped level the playing field between DIY musicians and major labels by opening worldwide distribution channels to unsigned artists. Now, with our recently launched BookBaby division, we’re doing it again for the publishing industry.
“In just six months since our soft launch, BookBaby has established itself as THE destination for authors looking for a simple, comprehensive solution to their digital distribution needs,” says BookBaby president Brian Felsen. “We make it easy: our sign-up includes a free EPUB conversion to ensure your eBook is distributed to all of the largest retailers.”
BookBaby’s services are priced to be affordable to independent authors – both established and new – as well as small and medium-sized imprints that need an easy solution for eBook distribution to all major retail outlets. Since we do not collect a royalty or commission on sales revenue from its authors, it’s as if those authors went directly to the retailer to sell their eBooks, with the added convenience of consolidated sales reporting across all retailers, one simple title submission process for all retailers, and weekly payments to authors.
Book Baby will digitally distribute your work to the biggest eBook retailers in the world, making your eBook available to be read on all of current – and future – devices:
• Apple iPad (through the iBookstore)
• Amazon Kindle
• Barnes & Noble Nook
• Sony Reader
As part of our simplified eBook program for independent authors, BookBaby offers format conversion services, helping clients to convert .doc, .html or .txt files into ePub, which is rapidly on its way to becoming the new standard format for electronic publishing. BookBaby also specializes in conversion of more complex documents, including tables, graphs, multiple mages, and embedded multimedia files including video and audio clips. (Availability of this service varies between file format and reader device. Special handling and additional charges will apply.)
