eBook Sales:
Q: How many eBooks are being sold? I've heard that all the big publishing houses are now placing their new books in eBook format.
A: Our third-party fulfillment center downloads over 1,000,000 eBooks each month. No idea how many are being sold by competitors. Our market research indicates that eBook sales are expanding at about 40% annually. Our customers are scattered around the world; those outside North America and the UK have limited/no English-language bookstores available to browse. They depend on us and well-known book reviewers to point them toward quality books. They routinely visit our Web site to read Chapter One of new books before they buy. From our vantage point it appears that all of the major publishing houses in the U.S. are now routinely placing their new titles in the eBook wholesale distribution system.

A: Publishers determine the Retail Price, and Wholesale Discount. We discount those prices on occasion at our discretion, depending on market conditions. Irrespective of our discounts, your publisher receives his Wholesale Price from our fulfillment center.

distribution and sale of digital media content on the Internet.

A: We encourage authors and publishers to provide their Web site visitors a link to the eChapterOne BookStore.
Q: Can eChapterOne.com link to my Web site?
