Hi. I'm sorry if the answer to this question is found somewhere else, but ejunkie offers great customer service so I thought I would go straight to the source.



I recently finished my ebook New in Town Chicago - a guide for people moving to Chicago to help them find their place in the city. It has information on finding a suitable Chicago neighborhood, using the Chicago CTA, and meeting people who live in Chicago. http://www.newintownchicago.com



I am selling an ebook and, as anyone who has ever tried to sell an ebook before, these books need to come in multiple formats based on reading device.



But I don't think neither I nor the buyer can be sure what version of the ebook they will want. I also want to have multiple versions of the same file type. For example, I have an epub with images and an epub without images since I can't be sure which one they can view best or prefer.



So essentially, I want anyone who buys the book to just get EVERY version of the book.



What is the best way to do this through ejunkie? Is ejunkie already set up to deliver multiple products with one buy now button?



Thank you.

Most eBook sellers offer their file in PDF format, which is cross-platform compatible with many different reader programs/apps available, and would also be able to take advantage of our PDF Stamping feature as a deterrent against file sharing:

Devices which cannot open PDFs also typically cannot use files provided through our service anyway (e.g., iPhones/iPads can only download from Apple's App Store, non-PDF-capable models of Kindle can only read files provided by Amazon, etc.).



This help page provides some approaches you could use for offering a collection of files in various formats for each product (however, note that PDFs provided in this manner could not use our PDF Stamping feature):

You may instead wish to simply make a separate product for each file format, and let each buyer order the file type they prefer.

You must be joking. I have 11 different versions of my ebook depending on the file type, the publisher, and the reader device. Ebook self publishing is an absolute nightmare. There is no one-size-fits all format.

I don't think this is true. What about distributors like Lulu? What about devices like the Sony Reader?

The problem is they are not going to know any better than I am which version of the ebook will work and look best on their reader, so I just want to offer all of them at once.



Thanks for your help
