Feedbooks - Experiences?

Haarlson · 06-24-2011, 04:25 PM

Hi, I'm fairly new here. Still haven't sorted out a signature.
I'm curious about any writer's/publisher's experience of SELLING work on Feedbooks. I know most of the books are public domain, but they do now have a store. I tried uploading a test piece but at no time during the process was I asked to set price/royalty rate etc. So, I'm wondering - how was it for you? All responses gratefully received.

Feedbooks doesn't let you publish your own stuff with them. They're mostly public domain works, and for their store they go through companies. At least, that's what I saw when I was looking around.

I have some short stories on Feedbooks but they are all free.

Thanks for your replies. Feedbooks most certainly does allow you to upload texts and they now have a store http://www.feedbooks.com/store here. But, as said in my OP couldn't find where to set price/royalty rate. Thanks.

As Harper Kingley said, they allow people to upload self-published books for free, and sell books that are published through publishing houses.

Copied from their FAQ:
"How do I get paid ?

Currently, self-published titles on Feedbooks are all available for free and therefore, there's no revenue sharing between Feedbooks and authors.

This might change in the future, but our priority is to improve our publishing platform first rather than focus on selling titles from authors."

I've published some books on Feebooks and got plenty of download. It's hard to tell how many people are reading them. I don't think I got a single review, though it's sometime since I've looked.
