Our comprehensive service package for your publishing house
Simple delivery of eBooks and audiobooks
Bookwire offers fast, high-quality conversion of your eBooks and audiobooks into all required formats. We guarantee that your content will meet shops’ requirements. During conversion, quality assurance of your products is our top priority.
Conversion into all current formats
We can convert your books on request into all standard commercial formats, such as EPUB, Fixed Layout EPUB, Mobipocket and KF8. We always send a non-binding quotation before beginning the conversion process. We convert audiobooks and audio dramas into FLAC & WAV free of charge, to guarantee optimum audio quality.
Simple data upload with Bookwire OS
You can enter all of your metadata and files online clearly and easily, using your Bookwire OS login. Large quantities of titles are easy to manage by importing CSV or ONIX data using automated processes. High-performance search and filter functions help you to keep track of things.
Complete quality control
Bookwire has developed multi-stage quality management to ensure error-free delivery of your data to the shops. Our software automatically checks the quality of metadata and files. Our Account Manager also performs a visual inspection before each delivery.
DRM copy protection for eBooks
For each eBook, you can decide for yourself with which DRM copy protection you would like to sell your product. Based on your guidelines, eBooks are only delivered to shops that can guarantee the required protection.
