Just got an email from AllRomance Ebooks, seems another one bites the dust.

ALL ROMANCE EBOOKS, LLC

6252 Commercial Way #145, Weeki Wachee, FL 34613


December 28, 2016

It is with great sadness that I announce our intent to wind down the operations of All Romance eBooks, LLC. For the first year since opening in 2006, we will be posting a loss. The financial forecast for 2017 isn't hopeful and we've accepted that there is not a viable path forward.

We realize that you have choices when it comes to shopping via the Internet. We appreciate those of you who have chosen to shop at All Romance and will miss your patronage. We’re grateful for the years we’ve been able to serve you. The site(s) will be closing down on December 31, 2016 at Midnight (Central/US) and you will no longer have access or be able to make purchases.

Please take this opportunity to finalize any transactions, download your purchases, and back up your library.

Sincerely,

Lori James
All Romance Ebooks, LLC

Is this the company that had the owner/CEO that was sued for royalties?

Sad about ARe/OmniLit

If anyone has any ebucks credit left, spend it now.

I also have some freebies there that I never downloaded. Guess that's what I need to do today when I get home.


ETA: I have 71¢ there. Not going to bother trying a book for that since you cannot combine payment methods.

Are you thinking of Ellora's Cave? I haven't heard anything like that about ARe. Yet that is. Seems like they are offering 10 cents on the dollar for those authors that agree or nothing at all.

They really are not giving any time to folks to backup their books. After the 31st there is no access anymore. 4 days is not enough during holiday time. That's a crappy thing to do to long term customers. Not everyone backs up their stuff right away or at all. And some might not even know how to do that.

Oh well, its why I won't buy anywhere but Amazon anymore. Least chance my books will go poof along with the money I paid for them.

Was just coming to post about ARe/OmniLit. Sorry to see them go.


EDIT: I had said I was sorry to see them go, and I am, but after reading some more about what they're doing and how they've handled things I'm not as sorry.

thanks I could not remember the name Ellora's Cave. I only try to download free books from sites like this. I only pay money at Amazon. I think I have everything downloaded.

Very crappy in the 4 days notice and the 10 cents for authors is even worse. I feel sorry for all the authors that are getting screwed.

This is wrong on so many levels. To just close without a proper time frame for customers to back up their books or spend their credit. This is the holidays many are out of town and no access to their computer.

Makes me relieved I never bought from them. All I have are freebies but I feel for those who do have a large library.

They haven't announced it on Facebook or their site. We need to get the word out. Brian please post about it in the news section of the forum if no one has yet.

Yes, this is very wrong. I have bought several from them, but thankfully, I always download and back up as soon as I purchase a book, no matter from where I purchase it. This has saved me several times. (thinking fictionwise and booksonboard).

I'd be a lot more sorry if they announced this anywhere other than on their website, and if they were willing to give their customers enough time to do whatever needs to be done.

I guess we don't have to wonder why they are going out of business...

I guess those are automated tweets, but an hour ago to 4 hours ago they were still tweeting deals.

My money will only go to the amazon store, I just don't trust anyone else anymore. Thankfully I have learned to backup my stuff.

Addendum: They are not sending that email to all their customers. Only to the ones who are subscribed to the newsletter.

I am no longer sad to see them go. Good riddance to anyone who puts this little thought and consideration into decisions that directly impact their customers to this extent. You will not be missed.
