ebooks

[Camille Gibson]

We have ebooks created with ebook creator and I need to
know to make them downloadable to someone who has paid for
the book. Such as other sites when you pay you click and
download the ebook... right now the customer pays then we
email the ebook. Do we make this a hidden page in the web
and after they pay they are directed to the hidden page?

Thanks,

Camille

Only if you want to give your product away once the name of your
so-called hidden page is posted to newsgroups or web forums
where such information is made public to those seeking to take
the work from merchants trying to make money without investing
in doing things the right way which almost always requires hiring
somebody to do some custom coding even if modifying a freebie
script or canned script as they are generally not secure and can
be exploited.

Is there a site that "hosts" ebook so that can not happen?
Or how do I find someone to do as you say?

Thanks,

There are hosting services that have been started to host the
promotion and sales of independent works but you'll have
to seek them out via Google as I know of none that come to mind
but I do know they are out there. Some 'names' in the publishing
industry tried this type of hosting but most have been discontinued.
I think the presence of eBay is too much to compete with and eBay
is where I suggest you get started with a hosted service.

You can contact me to discuss development noting I only work with
the Windows IIS hosting platform.
