Problem
Books are packaged as files and handed to marketplaces that own discovery, customer access and most of the data.
WePub:
Publish to readers, you never lose.
Most publishing systems are built to distribute files through marketplaces, surrendering the book audience to the marketplace.
ReaderPub turns books into living web assets: readable, searchable, discussable and connected, so authors and publishers achieve strategic distribution.
The old model sells files
A file-based model can distribute a book, but it usually separates the author from the reader.
Why it fails
The sale ends the relationship. The author gets distribution, but the platform keeps the audience.
The new model builds direct web presence
WePub treats a book as a web publication that can be read, found, discussed and connected to the author over time.
