The Reading Room — FAQ

LATRAME's bookshop: books from independent authors, to read and buy. Each author publishes and sells their own books directly — when you buy, you support the person writing, not a middleman.

Payment is secure and handled by Stripe. The money goes straight to the book's author: they sell and handle their own sales. Once your purchase goes through, the book joins your personal library.

Two ways — take your pick. The moment you buy, your EPUB download link arrives by email and shows on screen too, no account needed. Or if you'd rather read online, your book is waiting for you in your library, in your browser, with your reading settings (theme, comfort) — just sign in with the email you used to buy it.

Not to buy, and not to get your EPUB — that's sent by email (and shown on screen) right after purchase, no account required. A free account becomes useful if you want to read online in your browser: it gives you your library, your highlights, and your reading settings synced across every device — no file to manage or lose.

You keep the edition you bought, exactly as it is — it never changes behind your back. When the author publishes an update, you're notified by email and can get the new version.

Each author handles their own sales. For a question about a specific book, the best route is the author's page; for a payment or access problem, write to us and we'll help.
