HOW YOU CAN REPLACE PHYSICAL COMP COPIES WITH EBOOKS

Presses can also use BiblioVault to distribute complimentary copies of ebooks, as text exam copies, review copies, and free giveaways. New tools on the BiblioVault website pages allow presses to generate links to individual books as needed or email out many links at once. With the elimination of unit and shipping costs, presses can realize substantial savings and provide a fast, “green” alternative for readers.
