The KITABOO publishing offer
You sell. You keep the revenue.
Sell one title or a ten-book subscription bundle. For the same licensed user and term, the KITABOO per-user platform fee stays the same. Content conversion is included, with no separate conversion charge for the agreed scope. Platform fees apply. User definition, licence term, conversion scope and any additional services are documented in your proposal. Third-party fees and taxes remain separate.
- Per user
- Platform fee, not per book

Answers
Good questions. Clear answers.
Start here. Bring your specific requirements to the walkthrough.
Will KITABOO replace BlueToad’s digital editions and advertising tools?
Do not assume that. Replica editions, ad units, ad-server integration and reader email programmes need a separate scope review. This KITABOO offer centres on digital publications, branded reading and licensed delivery.
How does the commercial offer work?
This publishing offer has a per-user platform fee, 0% KITABOO sales commission and included conversion. For the same licensed user and term, one book or a ten-book bundle carries the same per-user fee. The proposal defines user counting, conversion scope and any additional services. Third-party fees and taxes remain separate.
Can we migrate our existing catalogue?
We will review source files, metadata, user records, licences and integrations. Reading history, annotations and proprietary activities are not assumed to transfer automatically. Agree a pilot and migration scope before launch.
Can you help us avoid overlapping platform bills?
Share your existing contract terms and renewal date privately with our team. We can review migration concessions, billing timing and a phased transition. Any arrangement is agreed individually in the proposal.
Can we talk to a real KITABOO customer?
Ask for a 1:1 conversation with a publisher using KITABOO. Introductions depend on customer availability and consent. No migration from BlueToad is implied.
What do readers experience?
Readers can open titles in a browser without installing an app. Supported apps enable encrypted offline reading, subject to licence validity and revalidation. Explore sign-in, a new device and an expired licence in the demo.
