Epubli, hat jemand Erfahrung damit?

Hallo Zusammen,

Hat jemand Erfahrung mit Epubli?
ich wollte dort ein Buch veröffentlichen, muss ich da irgendwas beachten?

Bei KDP muss man sich um vieles ja selbst kümmern (Pflichtablieferung, Impressum und und und) ist das hier nicht so?

Muss ich irgendwas da selbst machen abgesehen von dem buch einstellen?

Gerne alles mögliche schreiben was euch einfällt.

The provider ePubli takes care of the correct taxation, listing in the VLB, distribution and compulsory delivery to the National and Landesbibliothek. The obligation to imprint is still with you, as is explicitly mentioned in the author’s contract. This means that ePubli or Neopubli GmbH is to be named in the imprint as a controller for printing and distribution, but you are more responsible for content (i.e. with full name and chargeable address).

Overall, ePubli is better than KDP by lengths. In VLB, you are not standing at KDP (not only that the listing is not accepted, you are even contractually forbidden to perform this yourself), there is no distribution over the intermediary trade, and you are also responsible for the delivery of duty. As it looks at KDP with the taxation, is also not very transparent and you are in doubt responsible for any problems yourself.

If you do not have a problem with the imprint obligation, ePubli is very well eliminated. Other providers who take over all legal obligations (including the obligation to imprint) are, for example, Books on Demand and Tredition.

As your question does not reveal your age, just once again foreseeable: To conclude a author’s contract or a sales agreement, you must be self-explanatory business.

The signing of the contract is self-explanatory before publication.

As already said, Neopubli GmbH does not take over this. In the author’s contract, you have to make sure that you yourself appear as a publisher and are named as a responsible person in the imprint.

[The] self-supplier will […] create an imprint for the work that meets the legal requirements, in particular the self-supplier as a publisher.

If you publish a medium, whether digital or printed, you are obliged to provide an imprint by law (Digital Services Act, Media State Contract, State Press Act). In a book, a legally valid imprint would be, for example:

Max Patternmann, 1st edition 2024. All rights reserved.

Editor:

Max Patternmann
Model road 1a
12345 pattern city

Printing and distribution on behalf of the editor:

Examplebook GmbH
Example All 2
67890 sample village

In addition, if possible, the reference of the DNB should be included; this is not obligatory, but useful for the book trade:

The German National Library records this publication in the German National Bibliography; detailed bibliographical data are available on the Internet http://dnb.dnb.de available.

In the case of specialist books, a citation suggestion may be made, in addition, the ISB number (if several versions of the work appear with indication of the type) should be completed at the end:

Citation: pattern man Model book, 1st floor, Rn. [Rand number]

ISBN (hardcover): 123-4-578-9012-3

ISBN (Softcover): 123-4-578-9013-4

The exact position of an imprint is not required by law, but it must be easy to find and, for example, must not just stand anywhere in the middle of the work. Usually an imprint for eBooks is always on the last, in printed books on the fourth page (Schmierblatt, Widmung, Titelblatt, Imprint, Table of Contents, Text).

In doubt, just pick up a few books that lie around with you, then you have a few examples from practice.
