Why Buying Your Ebook Direct Is Better for You

Compared with a retailer copy, the file belongs to you forever, and it reads on any device you own.

The Starfall Accord by Sera Voss is a space opera romance with no aliens.

Two enemies fall for each other slowly, told from both their sides, with every intimate scene off the page and a guaranteed happy ending.

Buying direct means the file is yours forever, on any device, in any app, and no retailer can expire it or pull it from your library.

It is coming soon, direct from the author, for $4.99 USD (plus GST or VAT where it applies).

It is not for you if you want the book sitting on your Kindle store shelf, bought and managed by Amazon. Buying direct means you hold the file and you move it yourself.

What Actually Changes When You Buy Direct

Buying direct from the author

  • You download the file itself, as an EPUB and a PDF, with no copy protection on either.
  • It opens in any reading app you like, and it stays readable if you stop using that app.
  • You do the moving and the backing up, so nothing depends on one company staying in business.
  • The author sets the price, and at launch is paid through the checkout, with Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record.

Buying from a retail store

  • The book appears on that store's shelf and syncs itself across the devices signed into it.
  • Its own returns process and reading features come with it, and you do not manage a file.
  • What you hold is a licence inside that store's app rather than a file you can move out.
  • The store takes a share of the price, and it decides what the shelf does next.

Neither column is the right answer for everyone. If the store shelf is what you want, buy it there when it launches.

  • Yours to keep, on any device

If you would rather not use it, the free Calibre app converts to AZW3, or to MOBI for older Kindle devices that take a cable.

Questions About Buying Direct

Everything readers ask before their first direct purchase.

What does buying direct from the author actually mean?

Once sales open, you buy the ebook from the author's own website and download the file directly, a file that is yours to keep on any device, in any app.

No platform sits between you and the book you paid for, and no retailer can remove it from your library.

Where can I buy ebooks that are not on Amazon?

Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books and Barnes and Noble's Nook store all sell ebooks, each through its own reading app, and many of their books carry copy protection that limits where the file opens.

Many independent authors also sell straight from their own websites, which is how The Starfall Accord will be sold when it launches soon.

At launch, buying from the author gets you a plain EPUB and PDF with no copy protection. The EPUB opens in most reading apps, including Apple Books, Google Play Books and Kobo, and on a Kindle through Send to Kindle.

Will the book stop working, or can it ever be taken away?

No.

You download a plain file with no copy protection, so no store can lock it, expire it, or remove it from your library.

You can back it up, move it between your devices, and read it in any reading app for as long as you keep the file.

It is yours.

How do I read the EPUB on my Kindle?

Amazon's own Send to Kindle service accepts EPUB files, so no conversion is needed.

The three ways to send it, and the steps for every other device, are set out in the device section on this page.

If you would rather not use Send to Kindle at all, the free Calibre app converts an EPUB to AZW3, or to MOBI for older Kindle devices, in seconds. MOBI is no longer accepted by Send to Kindle, so that route works by cable rather than over the air.

What devices and apps support EPUB?

EPUB is the open ebook standard, working natively on Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Nook, and most reading apps.

On iPhone and iPad it opens in Apple Books with a single tap.

On Android, apps such as Google Play Books, Moon Reader, and Lithium open it directly, and on desktop, free apps like Calibre and Thorium read it on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Can I get a refund if the file does not work?

Yes. Once the ebook goes on sale, you email hello@spacemance.com within 14 days with the subject line "Refund request" and your order number. We approve it, and Lemon Squeezy, our Merchant of Record, processes the return to your original payment method.

Your statutory rights are not affected. This covers Australian Consumer Law, the UK Consumer Rights Act, and EU consumer law.

A faulty file, one that will not open, or one that does not match the description is covered regardless of policy.

Full details on the refund policy page.

Is there a free sample?

Yes, read the first three full chapters of The Starfall Accord with no email address or account needed.

Availability: the full ebook is coming soon, direct from the author.

Is this AI generated?

The Starfall Accord is AI assisted fiction, edited line by line by a human author.

It runs to a complete 90,000+ word novel with a fully resolved romance arc and no cliffhanger.

You need not take our word for it.
