MeeQi is a publishing platform for digital books - both audiobooks and ebooks - which provides authors with the means to sell and distribute online. MeeQi is also an online bookstore with complete e-commerce, where authors can control the price of their e-book and audiobook for readers to securely purchase and download on the website.

No. If you have a book which you have written then you can upload, publish and distribute just the e-book. Likewise if you are a great storyteller and have an audiobook, but no e-book, you can upload, publish and distribute the audiobook alone.
MeeQi is great for anyone who has a book to publish and distribute online; whilst keeping full control of their book. Entirely flexible, MeeQi helps writers and entreprenuers sell publish novels, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, storybooks and also information guides.
Readers can use MeeQi to discover and download e-books for devices such as the computer, laptop and cellphone as well as e-book readers (such as the Amazon Kindle and Sony e-Reader) and the iPhone and iPod touch and also audiobooks for most mp3 players.
Readers can find reviews, ratings and also samples of the e-books. When logged in, readers can also access their digital library of purchased e-books, add ratings and publish reviews.
MeeQi uses the word 'Qi' which means 'energy' and our play on the word represents 'my creative energy'. Our focus on the use of technology and e-publishing gave birth to our mascot - MeeQi Mouse.
An electronic book (e-book) is a digital book, designed to be read on a screen. Often versions of a printed book which has been optimised for the screen, e-books can also be published straight to digital.
The e-books can be read on most computers, laptops and cellphones - often needing no extra software. E-books can also be downloaded and read on dedicated e-reader devices such as the Amazon Kindle and Sony Reader as well as the iPod Touch and iPhone, using Stanza.
An audiobook is a audiofile of spoken word typically in the form of storytelling or podcast - which can be listened to on any mp3 player.
It's free to publish on MeeQi and there are no hidden fees. Our revenue comes part of the processing fee which is applied as part of the sale. We like to keep things simple and rather than work with complicated percentages, we use a sliding scale - where you determine the final selling price. For example, if you sell your book online at the total selling price of $5.00 (handling $1.00). You will receive $4.00.
| Applies to Euros, Pound Sterling and US Dollars | Total selling price | Handling |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 - 5.00 | 1.00 | |
| 5.01 - 10.00 | 2.00 | |
| 10.01 - 11.00 | 3.00 | |
| 11.01 - 15.00 | 4.00 | |
| 15.01 - 20.00 | 5.00 | |
| 20.01 - 30.00 | 6.00 | |
| 30.01 - 35.00 | 7.00 | |
| ... | ... | |
| 95.01 - 100.00 | 20.00 |
This is an exciting area for us, as it is where we will be introducing most of our new features. Currently we provide a dedicated webpage for every book, book sampling, ratings and reviews from other users, and provide a range of ebook and audiobook formats to access a wide market of readers. We have lots of exciting new ideas to add onto this foundation, and our blog will be the first place for news of any developments.
Publishing on MeeQi is non-exclusive, so you can publish and make your book available elsewhere too and as you have full control of your books on MeeQi should you wish to remove it at any time.
As we have non-exclusive rights, you own all the rights to your book so you can publish your book anywhere and anyway you choose. Consider MeeQi as a publishing and distribution partner, helping get your book read.
MeeQi provides the opportunity for everyone to publish their own original works, however there are guidelines to the content which we have available on the site. Everyone has the opportunity to use the website and users are provided with the opportunity to flag and alert us of any inappropriate material on the site. We will be introducing smarter ways to maintain quality but for the moment, all books are promoted and those which are more popular and successful will do well and those which are not so popular will filter down.
Our blog will be the first place for any news of our updates and developments and we have enabled commenting and welcome you to get involved.
