eBook Section Rules

1. Please search any and all eBooks before posting to ensure that they have not already been shared. All duplicate threads will be deleted.

2. Please put the name of the title, the author name and the format in the title so that it is easier for members to find your ebook. If the book has multiple authors and their names do not fit in the title, you have three options
-> Write the name of the first author on the cover of the book.
-> Write "Anthology Book"
-> Write "Multiple Authors"

3. Please make sure your upload is in the proper format.
-> If you are releasing a single eBook, please upload it as either an EPUB, PDF, EPUB, MOBI, AZW, PRC, BBeB, OPDS, or PDB format.
-> If you are releasing 10 or more eBooks you may upload them in a .ZIP or .RAR file.

4. In order to help with downloading and uploading speeds, please do not pack more than 25 ebooks into a single file. If you are releasing a .Zip file pack of eBooks, please make sure that you list the name of each ebook and author in the description so that members know what they are downloading.

5. Books that are considered open source and available to all users of the internet like Public Domain books or anything on project Gutenberg are not allowed to be posted on our site for SB Points.

6. Please complete the form fully. If you cannot find an official source for an eBook, you may either share the Goodreads link or write "No Official Source" in the original link section.

7. Try writing out your description for your ebook on your own. If you find that you are having a hard time describing the book, you may copy and paste the description from another source as long as you remove all external links.

8. If a series has more than ten books and each book has the same author, it should be posted as a single thread. If each book has a different author for each book or each book is an Anthology, they may be uploaded separately. If all ten or more have the same author they must be included in the same thread. You may either pack them into a ZIP or RAR file or you may choose to list them as individual download links.

9. Once you release your eBook it will be reviewed by one of our moderators. Then, if it is approved you will see it in the eBook section for downloads. If you do not see it right away after posting, please do not share it again. It is just invisible until the thread has been approved. After you successfully release 20 eBooks you may request to be added to the eBook Releasers group, which will remove the requirement to have your threads individually approved.

10.
DO NOT knowingly post any NSFW ebooks in this section. To be considered "knowingly" the ebook description must have a description that obviously describes NSFW content.

-> The first time this rule has been broken knowingly, the listing will be moved to the NSFW section by a staff member and it will be documented.
-> The second time this rule is broken "knowingly" the ebook will be deleted and you will be issued a warning point.
-> The third time this rule is "knowingly" broken, you will have your ebook deleted and your ebook releaser status removed so that a staff member is required to approve each of your releases.

11. Please remember to follow all of our forum rules when posting to this section. In order to release an eBook, you must Introduce Yourself and update your profile picture.


Rules may change at any time so please remember to check back in from time to time.

If you fail to comply with our rules or break them repeatedly you will receive warning points. Two warning points will result in a one week ban and further warnings may lead to a permanent ban. Any changes to rules will be posted below so that we can ensure that members will not be penalized for breaking a rule before it was added. Any warning points will be removed if they are proven to have happened before the rules changed.

All previous rules will remain available for verification purposes.
