"Companies selling my pirated book"
*Update 5/7/12*
Posted by *********** on April 30, 2012 at 6:24pm
[UPDATE, 5/7/12, By Bradley Flora: At this point, I'm not entirely clear if there ever was any "piracy". ******** has deleted her original post, and is no longer sure if the charge is valid. I have some queries into a few of the players in this little drama, and will let you know what I know once they have replied to my emails.]
"I started a small press in 2010, and one of the first books I put out did not sell even one print copy, so I took it off the market within a few weeks. I was the author, so I wasn't concerned. I had used Createspace, which to this day says I never sold one book through wholesale or resale. I recently googled that book and it is being sold brand new by Better World Books. I asked them where they are getting this new book from since Createspace never sold even one. At first, BWB was proud and wouldn't let on like anything was wrong. Then, they finally told me that they were getting my books brand new from Super Book Deal. BWB said, "they're working directly with the publisher, so I assure you, it is all legal." I wrote back and let them know: I am the publisher, and I had never heard of Super Book Deals until today. Suddenly, BWB wasn't so proud and arrogant anymore. My attempts to contact Super Book Deals have been ignored. They are pirating my book, and Better World Books is not only selling them, they lied about the "publisher" being the distributor. I am the publisher, and I haven't distributed anything to these two companies, let alone get a dime of royalties for any of it. Just a warning about these two companies."

Ali posted a discussionSelf Publishing Through print-on-demand Testimonials
I just wanted to share some things about print-on-demand publishing. I have had experience with is so I thought that I would help people.What can you do with POD?:You will be able to distribute your book on-demand (Print-on-Demand). Print-on-Demand means that, instead of having many books in your house and waiting for them to be sold, your book will only be printed once a customer places an order.That means, you will save money. In the old time, people used to print many books and wait for a…See More

Marie Ketner posted a blog postCreating a Device Lab for eBook Testing
An essential part of the eBook conversion process that is often skipped is the final testing on the devices it was intended for. Many publishers, whether it's due to lack of budget or expedited time to market, avoid this step, which can lead to content problems. The best way to resolve this is by setting up a device lab to conduct detailed testing across multiple platforms. Not only will this help maintain quality standards across your eBooks, it will also give your staff the opportunity to…See More
