Because publishing is more than simply uploading a PDF, as is the case on many other platforms.
Unlike ordinary ebook files that can be downloaded and shared freely, books published on africaread.org are protected within our secure reading ecosystem. Readers can only access purchased books inside the platform, while features such as
download restriction,
no copy and paste,
no screenshot capture, and
no unauthorized sharing
help protect your intellectual property and reduce piracy.
This means your work stays protected while you continue earning from legitimate sales.
And the best part — you keep 90% of every sale.
We do not charge simply to publish your book.
We charge to protect it, distribute it globally, and help you earn from your work securely.
Alongside many other powerful features designed to give authors more control, better protection, and greater global reach.
