How to Upload an EPUB File to Selar

If you sell ebooks on Selar, you can upload your book as an EPUB file to give your customers a better reading experience.

EPUB is a digital book format designed for comfortable reading across different devices. Unlike a fixed-layout PDF, EPUB allows readers to adjust things such as font size to suit their preferences.

Why use EPUB for your ebook?

EPUB is particularly useful for ebooks because the content can adapt to different screen sizes.

Your customers can:

  • Adjust the font size while reading.

  • Read comfortably on mobile devices.

  • Access their ebooks through the Selar mobile app.

  • Download their ebooks for offline reading through the app.

This makes EPUB a useful format for books that customers will primarily read on phones, tablets, or other digital reading devices.

Can I upload both EPUB and PDF?

Yes.

You can provide your ebook in both EPUB and PDF formats. When both formats are available, your customers can choose the format they prefer.

For example, you can upload:

  • YourBook.epub

  • YourBook.pdf

Customers can then choose the format that works best for them.

How to upload an EPUB

To add an EPUB file to your digital product:

  1. Log in to your Selar account.

  2. Create a new digital product or open an existing one.

  3. Go to the section where you upload your product file.

  4. Select your EPUB file from your device.

  5. Complete the rest of your product setup and save your changes.

Your EPUB file will then be available to customers who purchase the product.

EPUB and the Selar mobile app

Customers can access their purchased digital products through the Selar mobile app.

For supported ebooks, the app provides a reading experience designed for mobile devices and allows customers to access their content offline.

This means your customers can continue reading their ebooks even when they do not have an active internet connection.

EPUB or PDF: Which should I use?

Both formats have their advantages.

EPUB is a good option if you want your customers to have a flexible reading experience, particularly on mobile devices.

PDF is useful when you want your book to retain a fixed layout, such as for workbooks, guides, templates, or documents where the exact page design matters.

You can also provide both formats and let your customers choose.
