Premium Book Feature — What You Get
The Premium Book Feature is the Ebook Deal of the Day slot. It is for a book that costs money — full price, or discounted for the promotion. If your book is free on the day it runs, the Free Book Feature is cheaper and is what you want instead.
A Kindle feature with no add-ons is $15. Here is exactly what that buys.
What is included
- Your own feature page on the site — cover, blurb, author, genre and your store buy links, at a permanent URL that keeps working after the promotion ends.
- A place in the day’s deals and in the listings for the book’s genre, where readers browse by what they like to read.
- Live price checking. The price shown is re-checked against the store in the background, so readers see what the book actually costs right now rather than what it cost when we published.
- Social posts to the Facebook and X accounts.
- Structured data so search engines read your book as a book, with its author, cover and price, rather than as an anonymous page of text.
What it costs
Every booking is a $5 base price plus the store you want. Add-ons are optional and priced separately. US dollars, paid by PayPal at the end of the form.

Booking a free feature for a book that is not free means we cannot run it — the price check will catch it. If in doubt, book Premium.
What we need from you
- Title and author exactly as they appear on the store.
- Your store link for the store you are booking — the product page, not a shortened link, so the price check can read it.
- Genre, so the book is filed where its readers browse.
- A cover image, portrait, as large as you have.
- The date you want it to run, and the trailer URL if you are adding one.
Timing and availability
- Four books per author per month, so one author cannot fill the calendar.
- A Free Book Feature stays on the Free eBooks page for up to three days.
- A free book must actually be free on the store you chose on the day it runs — we check the price automatically. If it is not free, use a Premium feature.
- Book from tomorrow up to about two months ahead.
- Four features per type per date. When a date is full it stops being offered.
The feature calendar shows how many bookings each date already has, so you can see what is still open before you fill anything in.
Questions
What does a Premium feature cost?
A Kindle feature with no add-ons is $15 — a $5 base price plus $10 for the store. Add-ons are optional and priced separately.
My book is free. Should I book Premium?
No — book a Free Book Feature, which starts at $10 and puts the book on the Free eBooks page. Premium is for books that cost money.
Do I need a video trailer to add one?
Yes. The $5 add-on embeds a trailer you already have and pushes it to the social accounts; we do not produce the video.
What does a boost actually buy?
Paid reach on top of the normal post. The three tiers have delivered roughly 420–1,100, 740–2,000 and 1,800–4,700 people.
How far ahead can I book?
From tomorrow up to about two months out. Each date takes four features per type, and the feature calendar shows what is already taken.
How do I pay?
PayPal, at the end of the booking form. Prices are in US dollars.
Do you guarantee a number of downloads?
No, and be sceptical of anyone who does. What we guarantee is the placement: your own page on the site, the genre listings, and the social accounts for the store you chose. How a book performs depends on the book, its cover and its price.
Can I book more than one book?
Yes — up to four books per author per month, so that one author cannot fill the calendar.
What if I need to change the date?
Get in touch before the feature runs and we will move it if the new date has room. Use the contact form.
Book a Premium feature
One form — the book, the date, the store, any add-ons — and PayPal at the end.
