Digital book protection
The copy you sell never leaves the store
Buyers never get a file to pass around. They read and listen inside the store, and every opening goes through three layers.
1
A key for every book
Each book is encrypted with its own key, so exposing one book exposes no other.
2
Signed temporary links
Streaming goes through a link that expires, so copying or sharing it is useless.
3
Purchase check on every opening
A link alone isn’t enough; every time, we re-check that the reader bought the book.

How are my ebooks and audiobooks protected?
Each book is encrypted with its own key, streamed through a signed temporary link, and the purchase is re-checked on every opening. Buyers never get a downloadable file.
Can I sell the print and digital editions of the same book?
Yes. Add the ebook or audiobook edition and it pulls the print edition’s details in one click, then appears on the print page so readers can choose between them.
Can my house have an app in its own name?
Yes. Design it in the app builder with drag and drop, publish it under your house’s name and account on the App Store and Google Play, and it follows your store’s books, prices and orders.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Your domain is connected to your store, and its SSL certificate is issued and renewed automatically.
I have a store on another platform. Do I start from scratch?
No. Your books, categories and customers move over from OpenCart, Shopify, WooCommerce or Salla, or from an Excel/CSV file.
Do I need technical experience?
No. Everything runs from an Arabic dashboard, with an assistant that answers from the Help center.
