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
- Included
- Conversion, for the agreed scope
- 0%
- KITABOO sales commission

- A 1:1 conversation about day-to-day publishing on KITABOO

- We'll work to connect you with a suitable customer
- Subject to availability and consent. No competitor migration history is implied
Already committed elsewhere?
- Share your current terms and renewal date privately with our team
- Review migration concessions and billing timing

Customer experience
A platform shaped around complex publishing needs.
A Swedish academic publisher used KITABOO to bring eBooks and other learning materials into an accessible study environment with flexible, time-limited access. A published KITABOO customer outcome, not a Silverchair migration case or a forecast.
- Accessible eReader with offline access
- eBooks, podcasts and lectures together
- Flexible, time-limited course access

Answers
Good questions. Clear answers.
Start here. Bring your specific requirements to the walkthrough.
Is KITABOO a like-for-like replacement for Silverchair?
Not across the full scholarly publishing stack. Do not assume parity for journal hosting, DOI workflows, citation linking, COUNTER reporting, indexing or peer review. Evaluate KITABOO for the book and learning experience you need, and confirm any research-specific requirements separately.
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 Silverchair 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.
