KANAKARIS NETBOOKS.COM PARTNER PROGRAM OFFERS PUBLISHERS FREE BOOK
Posting With First Totally Secure Online Protection of Intellectual Property
Kanakaris Removes Barriers to Massive Additional Distribution Channel
For Publishers and Offers Multiple New Revenue Streams NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Kanakaris
Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KANA) today unveiled details
of its NetBooks.com Partner Program. Qualified Partners will be able
to post books online for free and receive multiple new revenue streams.
The program is available to Publishers, Agents, Packagers or other
persons or entities who have the copyright to multiple book titles. "The NetBooks.com Partners program is the most revolutionary program
ever introduced to the publishing world. Thanks to new patent pending
technologies entire new revenue sources are now available at a fraction
of traditional costs," stated Jill Thomas, President of ION
Technologies and a newly appointed member of the Kanakaris Board
(effective May 1, 1999). According to Kanakaris, online book delivery revenues can now be
generated by Partner program participants from:
-- The rental of access to secure online versions -- The sale of permanent access to secure online versions
-- The sale of downloadable secure versions -- The sale of user-printed specific pages from the online version
available 4th Qtr 99 -- The sale of traditional printed books from existing stock or from
On-Demand Print presses -- The sale of a Talking Book CD for the blind and low vision users
(spoken in a human voice). Available 3rd Quarter 1999 -- The Rent-To-Own option allows a portion of the rent paid to read a book
online to be applied to the purchase price of the book. Available 3rd
Quarter 1999
A value-added feature of the NetBooks.com system is real time
secure fulfillment. When an order for a print copy is submitted, the
purchaser is given immediate access to the online version while the
books is shipped. The online protection of the author's intellectual property and the
enhanced reading format differentiates NetBooks.com from any other
Internet distributor. The Kanakaris/ION Patent Pending technology is
the infrastructure of NetBooks.com which eliminates scrolling text,
copying and unauthorized printing of content. Even efforts to extract
text through screen captures or from temporary Internet files are
futile. The same protection and enhancement is inherent in the
self-running downloadable version. The last differentiator makes
publishing easy by creating all online, download, CD, and print
versions from one source file.
Costs of the NetBooks Partner Program: -- Program registration is free -- Preformatted book submissions to online service: free (retail $499
per book) -- Total control of pricing options is free -- Software for book formatting: $25.00
-- Optional services from NetBooks.com: $65.00
Kanakaris Partners now have the resources to publish the many
manuscripts that would otherwise be economically unfeasible to publish
traditionally. Partners are free to set their own prices and may bundle
any other services with the NetBooks.com service. How are the incomes from the various income streams distributed? All
income generated from the sale or rental of digital material is split
40% for the Partner and 60% for NetBooks.com. On-Demand Print versions
and the Talking NetBooks Versions revenue splits are outlined in the
NetBooks.com Partner Agreement.
Since NetBooks.com is a service, there is no copyright requirement nor does NetBooks resell the material in any other way. The only requirement is the availability of the information for one year.
Future products and additional information is available at www.NetBOOKS.com/partners or by requesting a copy of the NetBooks.com Partner's agreement from 1-888-IONJAVA.
