Sales reports you can trust, one row per sale
Authors report store dashboards off by half and royalties that land days late. The Live Ledger writes a row the moment a sale clears and never rewrites it.

Was wir bauen, warum, und was Verlage und Leser immer wieder fragen.
Why no imprint here is closed without a stated reason
Store accounts get terminated by a content team with accrued royalties withheld and no violation named. Here every hold carries its signals, and an appeal reaches a person.
2026-10-07Keep nine dollars of every ten, and see the other channels beside it
Store royalty bands, delivery fees and wholesale discounts take a third to two thirds of a book's price. Direct sales keep the price minus one share, and the pricing engine shows the difference per copy.
2026-10-06Discoverability starts with metadata, so every title shows its health
Industry data says discoverability is the number one challenge and that metadata reaches systems before it reaches people. Listing health scores the eight fields that matter on every title.
2026-10-05Fake books under your name, and the seal that proves which file is yours
Authors have found machine-written titles sold under their names and copies of their own books relisted by strangers. Every file here is fingerprinted, and the book page shows a verified edition anyone can check.
2026-10-04Selling to churches, schools and groups without an intermediary
Church and curriculum sales can outweigh trade sales, and they need bulk pricing, one checkout and a code for each reader. Seat licenses do that in one order.
2026-10-03Every channel in one ledger: import the reports the stores send you
A press selling in several stores handles a dozen report files a month in a dozen formats. The sales tab reads them by their headers and shows direct plus outside in one line.
2026-10-02What a sealed edition is, byte by byte
A .zi2 file is the book encrypted under an unlock phrase with its cover and figures inside. The layout is published so the file outlives any one site.
2026-10-01One copy, one key: how a sold edition is sealed for its buyer
A shared phrase means one leaked copy is every copy. Each sale here is resealed with its own key, carries the license inside, and stops opening if the license is refunded.
