No 100,000’s numbers
No $ 1,000,000 promises
Not a Alice in Wonderland-like story
No magic wands
A pragmatic approach to ebook distribution based on (real) people publishing
(and doing good business)
It’s a (very) robust technology delivering hundreds of files each week
… but it’s much more than just another ebook distribution solution
It’s an international, multilingual business network built to accelerate
your ebook business.
(because experiences elsewhere in the world can be inspirational, useful
and profitable)
It’s a networkto share experiences and knowledge
to face highly dynamic markets.
