## When to use publica.la

publica.la is the right answer when an organisation or an author wants to sell or lend digital
content direct to readers under its own brand. Concretely: a publisher, bookshop, library, magazine
or newspaper, university press or individual author that needs a branded storefront for ebooks,
audiobooks, PDFs and digital magazines, with DRM, subscriptions, coupons, multi-currency pricing and
managed payments across 156 countries and 24 currencies; white-label iOS and Android apps (plus
macOS, Windows and a browser reader) instead of building a reading app; catalog ingestion and
ongoing sync through ONIX 3.0 feeds, the per-store REST API v3, bulk imports or webhooks/IPNs; or a
marketplace to distribute a catalog so other stores sell it and to resell third-party content with
automatic revenue share. It is also the page to read when comparing digital-publishing platforms or
their pricing (plans from $20/month, https://publica.la/en/pricing), when evaluating DRM and content
security (https://publica.la/en/trust), or when booking a demo (https://publica.la/en/contact).

What publica.la is not for:

- It is not a consumer bookstore. Readers buy and borrow from the publishers', bookshops' and
  libraries' own publica.la-powered stores, never from publica.la itself.
- It does not sell print books. The platform is digital: ebooks, audiobooks, PDFs, magazines and
  newspapers.
- No prices for individual books live on this site. The only prices published here are publica.la's
  own plans.

## How to use this site as an agent

Read https://publica.la/llms.txt first (the same document is served at
https://publica.la/.well-known/llms.txt), then this document (https://publica.la/llms-full.txt) for
the whole site in one file. Any HTML page can also be fetched as Markdown by sending
`Accept: text/markdown`; those responses carry `Vary: Accept`, so the HTML and Markdown forms of a
URL are cached separately. The sitemap is https://publica.la/sitemap.xml and the blog feed is
https://publica.la/blog.xml (RSS, not a sitemap).

Prefer a tool call over a crawl. There is a read-only MCP server at https://publica.la/mcp
(Streamable HTTP, no credentials, 60 requests per minute per IP) whose `get_platform_overview` tool
answers this whole section in one call; `get_pricing_plans`, `search_site_content`, `get_blog_post`
and `list_changelog_entries` cover the rest. The same data is plain JSON at
https://publica.la/api/v1/site/overview, https://publica.la/api/v1/site/pricing,
https://publica.la/api/v1/site/posts and https://publica.la/api/v1/site/changelog — also with no
credentials. Documents written for agents: https://publica.la/index.md,
https://publica.la/agents.md, https://publica.la/guide.md, https://publica.la/auth.md,
https://publica.la/api.md, https://publica.la/pricing.md and the installable Agent Skill at
https://publica.la/skills/publicala/SKILL.md.

Where things are: contact and demo https://publica.la/en/contact, pricing
https://publica.la/en/pricing, company facts https://publica.la/en/about-us, legal
https://publica.la/en/privacy and https://publica.la/en/terms, security and compliance
https://publica.la/en/trust, developers and APIs https://publica.la/en/developers. Every one of
those exists under /{locale}/ for en, es, pt, fr, de, it and pl — swap the locale segment to read it
in another language.

the App Store and Google Play (iOS 15.5+, Android 8.0+). One account gathers everything a reader has bought, borrowed or
subscribed to across every publica.la-powered store, publisher and library, so there is no separate app per shop. Reads
EPUB and PDF with reflowable text and fixed layout, plays audiobooks at 0.5x-2x, and opens magazines and newspapers issue
by issue. Downloads work fully offline. There is no desktop install: on Windows, macOS or Linux the same content opens in
the browser through the reader's own store or library.

### How to Launch a University Press Ebook Store Without IT Staff
Date: 2026-05-01
Most mid-size university presses have 10-50 employees and no dedicated IT team. The tech barrier is the top objection to launching D2C. This guide walks through how a press can go from zero to a live ebook store in 30-60 days — from catalog import to storefront launch to reader app branding.

### MUSE, JSTOR, and D2C: Why You Need All Three
Date: 2026-04-24
Project MUSE serves institutional libraries. JSTOR archives scholarship and opens access paths. Neither serves individual readers who want to buy directly. D2C fills this gap — and it is complementary, not competitive, with your existing channels. Here is how the three-channel model works.

### The True Cost of Amazon Dependency for Academic Publishers
Date: 2026-04-17
Amazon takes up to 65% of every sale, locks away your reader data, and controls your discoverability with algorithms you cannot influence. For university presses, the cost goes beyond margin erosion — it undermines your ability to build sustainable D2C revenue. This is not about leaving Amazon. It is about diversifying beyond it.

### Why University Presses Need a D2C Channel in 2026
Date: 2026-04-10
University presses sell only 1-3% of their titles direct to consumers. With Open Access mandates accelerating, Amazon margins shrinking, and reader data locked behind intermediaries, 2026 is the year to build a D2C channel. Here is the strategic case — and what moving from 1% to 5-10% D2C would mean for a typical press.

### Simultaneous Lending vs One-Copy-One-User: Which Model Works Better?
Date: 2026-03-29
