Web Subscriptions

jbcohen · 05-02-2011, 05:53 PM

I heard somewhere that web subscriptions is a service where one pays per month for all the books we want for that month, am I correct or am I seriously wrong? I understand the cost is something like $16 a month in other words the price of two books? Although the site seems to be selling the books by the month, I am missing something here.

Are you referring to this?

There are pirate sites that have that story as a come along. You pay them and download all the pirated books you want.

Webscription.net provides a way to receive serialized novels on a monthly basis, DRM free, in multiple formats for a very reasonable price.

Yes, stickybuns I am. I did not know about the FAQ when I wrote the question. Thanks to Stickybuns I know more now about a web subscription.

Happy to be of help. Did you see that you can also purchase previously released webscription bundles? Good option if you're not interested in surprises.

Please define serialized novels. How many do you get per month? For $18 I would expect at least three.

See:

http://www.webscription.net/c-3-webscriptions.aspx

You get at least four new books a month, plus 3 to 4 other "backlist" ones.

You could answer *most* of your questions by visiting the links Harry and I provided.

Short answer.
* Three months before publication subscribers receive the first half of all the books.
* Two months before publication subscribers receive the third quarter of all the books.
* One month before publication subscribers receive the last quarter, completing all the books.

The monthly release have 5 to 7 books in a combination of new releases and older backlists.
