ReaderPub onboarding

How onboarding works

Independent authors & small publishers

  • Upload one or multiple files (Word/PDF/EPUB).
  • WePub engine produces web publishing + optional EPUB output.
  • Enable Buy/Rent, analytics, and fan clubs.
  • See sales and billing reports.
  • Monitor social activity related to your listings.
  • Communicate with your fans and followers.
  • Plan events and presentations.

Institutions & catalogs

We import from the way collections are commonly stored today:

  • Bulk file drop (ZIP of EPUB/PDF) + metadata spreadsheet
  • OPDS/OPDS2 feeds (where available)
  • MARC/ONIX/CSV metadata exports + cover assets
  • S3-compatible bucket export or rsync/FTP transfer
  • Repository exports (institutional repositories / digital collections)
  • We map identifiers, preserve catalog structure, and publish as a web library.
