Any here list books/eBooks on Google Books?
I've put a book (pdf, ePub) on Google Books and I have some questions. (The book is now listed but no eBook entry appears though user admin panel says it's "live." The Google faqs and help files are no help and there is no response from the user forums there. Also no response from their eBook support email...
Does anyone here list books/eBooks on Google Books? If so, and if I can ask you a question.... would you please send me a msg on this forum? Thanks in advance.... |

I did learn one thing buried in the online help files. If you make your preview program copy 100% viewable and downloadable (the pdf) the eBook (epub) will never be "published" and won't show in the eBookstore (it's a free book.)
The eBook shows as "LIVE" but is not appearing. It's been 3 days now. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if it populates.... |

What is the point of Google books? Can people buy your book from Google books? What is the advantage to doing it?

If you have a pBook it points people to a url where the book can be purchased (publishers web site, etc). If in the eBookstore it can be purchased and downloaded. The book I'm starting with is free so it will be available for free download.
