Weightless Books

Weightless Books is a one-stop DRM-free ebooksite for interesting independent presses. We are not open to all publishers or to individual authors yet but are slowly adding more publishers as we build the site. If you would like your books added, please email us. This page is a work in progress. Feel free to email us with any questions.

Formats: We are happy to sell whatever ebook formats you prefer: PDFs, epubs, etc. We can sell just a PDF (e.g.) or many formats (e.g.). PDFs are most popular, followed by epub, mobi, and then lit.

Upload: We are working on accepting ONIX feeds. In the meantime, once you have signed on with Weightless we will send you a spreadsheet for your titles. When we receive that (and your files), we will check it over and add them to the site.

Schedule: We release new titles every Tuesday.

Reports: You will receive a publisher log in to the site where you can see sales in real time.

Payment:
— individual titles: publishers receive a 50% royalty on the net sales.
— subscriptions: publishers receive a 75% royalty on the net sales based on how many issues were delivered in that period.(i.e. We do not pay for issues until they are delivered.)
— royalties are paid within 30 days after the end of each quarter by either PayPal or check.

Fees: There are no set up fees.

DRM: We don’t do DRM.

Links: Linking to your titles here from your site is easy. You can either use isbn or title.

We have Paypal-style buttons available if you’d like to use them.
