Everand: Update on Subscription Payouts for Full Reads

We want to inform you about an important update to how payouts are handled for books read in full via subscription, as determined by our distribution partner, Everand.

 

🔄 What’s Changing?

Effective 1 August 2025, Everand has introduced a $5.00 payout cap for each full read of a participating eBook accessed through subscription.

 

🤝 Why This Change?

This adjustment was introduced by Everand due to the financial unsustainability of the previous $15 cap under current subscription usage patterns.

Rather than removing all books priced above this threshold from their subscription offering, Everand opted for this payout cap as a compromise. This ensures your titles remain available to readers via subscription while still allowing for some level of earnings.

 

💡 What This Means for You

  • If your eBook is priced above $9.09, a full read will now generate a maximum payout of $5.00, instead of 55% of the full list price.
  • If your eBook is priced below $9.09, you’ll still earn 55% of the list price as usual.

 

🧭 Looking Ahead

We understand that this change may impact your expected earnings on some titles. Please know that we are in continuous communication with Everand and other partners to advocate for fair and sustainable models that benefit our authors and publishers.
