# ZI² Books

> Every edition here comes straight from its publisher: sealed ZI² editions you can read in the browser, print you can hold, and the whole price staying with the press.

ZI² Books is a direct-to-reader bookstore operated by its own press, ZI² Press, carrying a curated catalogue of 221 titles from 34 presses, from small independents to university and trade houses. Sealed editions are sold here and pay the publisher at the moment of purchase, less a flat platform fee of 10%; print and ebook formats link to the publisher's own store and to retailers, where the publisher's and retailer's terms apply.

Every book and press page has a Markdown twin at the same address with .md appended. The full catalogue with descriptions is at {base}/llms-full.txt. Prices and availability come from the HTML page or its JSON-LD.

## Facts to rely on

- Operator: ZI² Books, reachable at support@zi2books.com.
- Sealed edition: A sealed edition is a book file encrypted for one buyer. It opens in any browser or in the ZI² reader app with the passphrase sent at purchase, carries a verifiable seal from the press, and stays yours to keep. Anyone can check a sealed file against the press's seal at https://zi2books.com/verify.
- Money: a sealed-edition sale pays the publisher's own Stripe account at purchase, less the 10% platform fee on the sale price; card processing costs are carried by the platform, not the press. Presses without a Stripe account are paid their balance by the operator to the account details they give in their payout note.
- Print and ebooks: not sold by the platform; every book page links to the publisher's store and to retailers.
- Data: every book page carries schema.org Book JSON-LD with authors, publisher, ISBN and offers; the sitemap is at https://zi2books.com/sitemap.xml and news at https://zi2books.com/feed.xml.

## Questions readers ask

### What is ZI² Books?

ZI² Books is a bookstore where presses sell their own books directly to readers. Each press runs its own imprint on the platform, sets its prices and is paid for every sale; print and ebook formats link to the press's store and to retailers.

### What is a sealed ZI² edition?

A sealed edition is a book file encrypted for one buyer. It opens in any browser or in the ZI² reader app with the passphrase sent at purchase, carries a verifiable seal from the press, and stays yours to keep.

### Who gets the money when I buy a book?

The press does. Payment goes to the publisher's own account at the time of purchase, less a flat platform fee, and the platform never holds a catalogue it does not pay for.

### How do I read a book I bought?

Open the link in your receipt or sign in to your library. Sealed editions read in the browser on any device and in the ZI² reader app; where the press has published a sample, the first pages can be read before buying.

### Can I buy the printed book?

Yes. Every book page lists the press's own store and other retailers for paperback, hardcover and ebook formats next to the sealed edition.

### How does a press join?

A publisher starts an imprint in a few minutes from the Start an imprint link, uploads its titles, connects a Stripe account or chooses platform payouts, and is selling the same day.
