Paperight turns any organisation with any printer and an Internet connection into a print-on-demand bookstore.
By registering with Paperight, print shops, schools, colleges and more can legally print out books for their customers. All a customer has to do to get a book is to walk into a Paperight outlet and ask for one. No complicated rights agreements; no waiting; no need for credit cards.
The books’ publishers and authors earn licence fees from legal print-outs of their books, cutting out expensive distribution and printing costs, and passing those savings on to customers. The customer pays the outlet for their print-out, and the outlet uses Paperight to pay the publisher.
Paperight makes buying and selling books easier and, overall, more cost-effective for everyone anywhere.
Publishers and printing businesses can join the network here.
