Please note the following recent addition to the eBook posting guidelines:
If you are considering creating a particular eBook, please check before you start whether or not that book has already been uploaded to MobileRead (this can be done by clicking the "E-Books" link on the blue bar near the top of the screen, selecting the "Browse Latest Uploads" option, then selecting the "Search E-Books" link and entering either the title or the author into the search box). If you find that the book has already been uploaded, you are very welcome to upload a new version provided that it "adds" something different to the version already present - this might be a better layout, a new format, significant proof-reading and correction, proper dashes or "curly quotes", for example. If this is the case, when you upload your new version, please add a link to the earlier version (or simply say who the uploader was), and state in the description of your book how it differs from the earlier version.
The reason for this is that we are seeing an increasing number of "duplicates" being posted, and we'd like to ensure that downloaders have a way of knowing what the difference is between a different versions of a book. The intent is not to discourage anyone from posting a book!
Your cooperation in following these new guidelines would be appreciated.
Thanks,
