BookBaby vs Lulu in our news:
2014. BookBaby allows authors to sell books directly to users
Self-publishing provider BookBaby is launching a new service BookShop that enables authors to sell their eBooks directly to readers through their own free BookShop e-commerce pages, earning more per sale and receiving payments faster than ever before. BookBaby authors can offer ePub and .mobi versions of their eBooks directly to readers (earning 85% of the gross selling price) and also direct fans to their eBooks on popular retail sites like iBooks, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and others. Additionally, instead of retaining authors’ payments for weeks or even months like other distributors and retailers, BookBaby pays its authors within one week of the sale. BookShop is available free to every BookBaby author, including those using the company’s new FREE eBook publishing package. Authors can upload ePub files directly to BookBaby for global distribution with no upfront costs.
