Thailand eBooks

More ebooks are coming and will be listed here over the next couple of days. There is a Thailand book niche that some people can’t get enough of.

We are, once again, considering adding to the talent pool here at Thailand eBooks. If you are a writer and you want to sell your ebooks through Thailandebooks.com – send a short note to mikefook@gmail.com and let us know what the focus of your book is, and we might consider adding it here.

Right now we’re looking primarily for Thailand fiction books, but we might accept true stories related to visiting or living in the country.

You will create an account at e-junkie.com, and set that all up and then we can sell your books as an affiliate. E-junkie has a great little program. You collect the money through Paypal for your book sales, and you pay us once per month for any sales that came as a result of us selling as an affiliate. You see the stats for your side, and we can see them as well from our side – for your books that sold through us.

We won’t accept any Thailand book related to politics, or about specific individuals in Thailand. No unauthorized biographies, or anything like this. We won’t accept, “I came to Thailand and fooked 38 girls in 9 days!” type books either.

If you don’t have or don’t want a Paypal account in order to setup your book with e-junkie.com we may be OK with doing it for you. You won’t have direct access to stats for your book, but when we pay you for books sold through our account, we’ll send you a screenshot of your sales.

If you are also selling your books on Amazon or in some other marketplace, the price you sell them for here – will have to be the same as at the other venue. We take 40% commission, and if you’re using our e-junkie account, there is a 2,000 THB setup fee for us to get your book live.

When you sell through us – we need your book in Microsoft Word, or PDF format. If you’ve submitted a copy of your book through SmashWords.com – we need to have a copy in all the formats SmashWords converts your book to – to facilitate sales.

Again, if you might be interested in this program, email us and tell us what your book(s) are about and where they are presently listed for sale.

I renamed this book, it was Cleansed – Secret crimes? Secret retribution. for a long time and it just wasn’t getting the sales that it should. I have now renamed it. Same great book. Better title.

Here is “Thailand’s Sickest / Cleansed” for purchase. I’ve not changed the book title at all the distribution channels yet, it will be month to get to all of them.

Thailand’s Sickest – is a 250 page, full-length vigilante fiction novel.

This vigilante fiction novel is not likely to appeal to women or those with a weak stomach. Anyone with a soul might not enjoy this book. If you enjoy payback stories – this is one of the most hard-hitting you’ll find.

Today’s Price – just $2.99

Click the button below to order “Cleansed / Thailand’s Sickest” for just $2.99 below…

Alternatively, if you want the book for your Amazon Kindle – you can find it at the Amazon Kindle Store.

Last year was pretty good – but, I am betting that THIS year is the year that ebooks really get traction and take off. There are like 100 ebook readers / tablet computers coming out from Dell, Toshiba, Apple, Sony, HP, Asus, Acer, etc… this will be what the ebook needs to go mainstream. Tablets are outselling notebook computers at the moment – and there really is only one decent tablet on the market at the moment – the Apple iPad.

Imagine when there are 100 types of tablet?

Ebooks are here to stay, and they are going to crush the paperback market. There are so many reasons ebooks are better. Look at Mike Fook’s post about 50 reasons ebooks are better than books.

Ebooks in Thailand are just starting to take off. I expect because Thailand is a great travel destination, that many tourists don’t want to lug around paperbacks and they’re buying Kindle’s or other ereaders to read their ebooks on.

What do you think?

Do you have a Kindle yet?

An iPad?

Another tablet?

Mike Fook has been selling the heck out his ebooks on Amazon lately. If you check the bestselling list after searching the Kindle ebook store for “Thailand” you’ll find that he has two books already in the top 10. One is at position 8, the other at 10.

John Burdett, who wrote Bangkok 8, has a number of books in the top 10. Shows that there are few authors that have any decent books to offer the ebook readers. Not to say his work is no good – I’ve read no more than the sample chapters. John writes in a way I don’t enjoy reading – and from a perspective that doesn’t jive with what I like. Still – THOUSANDS of people like how he writes and he’s the top writer. For now.

The ebook market has the potential to change everything. There are writers today – book writers – traditional book writers – that enjoy being top dog. They’re going to be replaced in some cases. Obliterated in others.

Currently – taking into account all online channels – Mike Fook is selling over 25 books per day. John Burdett prices his books (rather, his publisher does!) at the insane price of $14.99 in some cases for the EBOOK! Nuts.

If you are a new author and you want to write a book about some aspect of Thailand – WRITE IT NOW. Get it out of your head and into your computer as fast as you can. New authors this year – who crank out a few books per year (10?) can be firmly established when the ebook revolution takes hold and kills the last remaining holds outs (paperback readers).

We have a few channels where we sell ebooks – and it’s quite clear by sales lately that the ebook world is taking off like a rocketship.

Sales have increased at least 30% month over month for almost a year now. That’s pretty nice growth. The end is nowhere in sight – as most people are still reading paperback books. Imagine when that changes and people finally throw away their paperback books and go for ebooks… Ebook authors will be rejoicing – while those stuck in contracts with paperback publishers will be crying in their Cheerios.

Currently we have 14 books for sale at Amazon’s Kindle Store – and here at ThailandEbooks.com. We are selling over 400 books per month online. No paper. No postal service.

If you have been thinking about jumping into Ebook publishing -now is the time. Get started today and don’t look back. The future is ebooks – not paperback books.

I started out with the goal of getting published – a paperback book, I thought, would be the ultimate ego boost. At least until the movie was made… After looking into it more and asking myself what was more important, money or fame? I came to the conclusion – money is more important. Money is far more important.

The publishing contracts authors sign with traditional paperback book publishers are quite restrictive on present and future acts. For instance, most paperback publishers will insist they own the digital rights to your book content as well – for distribution! Meaning, if you write a book, sign a contract with Bangkok Books, or Asia Books, Lotus Books, whichever company – you are probably signing away your digital rights to market your OWN book on the internet on your site, eBay, Amazon, anywhere.

In order to sell your book online your publisher must sell it for you… which results in a pittance of an income for you – regardless how many ebooks they sell. Not only that, many publishers don’t have agreements with Amazon or other major distribution channels – so, your digital ebooks go nowhere. This very important channel goes unused because traditional book publishing companies are not excited about ebooks – nor are they set up to sell ebooks.

Wouldn’t you rather retain all the rights to your written works?

I decided a year ago that I wanted all the rights. Similar to music industry performers that are tired of selling an entire music CD and making a dollar… I want to retain as much money and rights to distribution of my own material as possible.

Not only this – but, I want to help other authors retain their rights by giving them an outlet for their digital ebooks here at ThailandeBooks.com.

Sign on here and you’ll give up nothing of your rights – we’re just another outlet that you allow to market and sell your ebooks for a commission. You might sell your ebook 50 other places online as well. You might self-publish your book in paperback form on your own as you make enough money from ebook sales to do so. Or, you might give up caring about selling a paperback book.

Ebooks are more than just another way to get your book out there – ebooks are here now – and give authors the chance to retain all rights to their content in the present and the future.

Do you have books already written about Thailand or Asia topics that you couldn’t find a publisher to publish? If you’re a writer based in Thailand – of course you have. It’s very difficult to match up a story with a publisher and actually go through and get published. It’s an exercise in futility often times.

Now you have an outlet for these books – assuming they are decent books and will have an audience – sell them here and everywhere else you possibly can sell them online.
