EQP

Maker of Fine Electronic Books

Ethan Quinn Prentiss, Executive Editor

THE PERFECT eBOOK

Find a mistake, and well fix it.

EQP Books was founded in response to all the second-rate ebooks on the market. In our opinion, there is no reason for ebooks to be a poor stepchild of print books.

In fact, ebooks should be better than print books. Why? Because they are forever fixable.

If the publisher is willing to fix mistakes whenever they are found, eventually each book should be perfect.

And what publisher states its willingness to continually fix books?

We do. EQP Books.

eBook Preparation

We will do editing, proofreading and formatting work, for anyone from individuals to print publishing companies. 

When we prepare an ebook, we have two sets of customers to consider—the author/publisher, and the reader. It can be impossible to fully satisfy both at the same time, so heres our compromise.

AUTHOR/PUB­LISHER GUAR­AN­TEE

When you, as an author or publisher, send us a book for ebook preparation, our contract is with you, not the reader.  Therefore, we will apply any formatting to the book you desire (and that e-readers are capable of producing), and we will do so perfectly.

It may be that we believe the formatting style youve selected is incredibly ugly.  This rarely happens, and when it does, well give you some alternate suggestions.  But, in the end, if you think your way is best, thats what well do.  You want it, you get it.

HOWEVER:

READER GUAR­AN­TEE

We have a contract with the reader, too, which says that this mark:

background logo

guarantees an ebook that is well-formatted and with, at most, an occasional typo.  So if we feel that the formatting style youve chosen is not up to our standards, or if your book is full of typos and you dont want to pay us to fix them, then neither our name nor our logo will appear anywhere in your ebook, and we will not give you permission to use them in any promotions.

(If anyone sees either our name or logo in an ebook with substandard proofreading or formatting, tell us.  Its probably a case of trademark infringement; but whether it is or not, we need to fix it. We cant do that if we dont know about it.)
