A Word About Our e-Books

The Obolus Press e-bookstore is powered by PayHip. They will send you an email with the download link after you complete your purchase. The charge will appear on your credit card statement as PAYHIP*OBOLUSPRESS

The e-books for sale are PDF facsimiles; they look exactly like the physical books, with the same pagination and typeface. If you were to quote something from page 24 of the PDF, another reader would find it on page 24 of the paper edition.

You can download a preview of an e-book before you buy a copy. Just look for the manicule ☞ at the top of each title’s description.

E-books purchased from oboluspress.com do not contain encrypted Digital Rights Management (DRM), nor are they password protected. You are not locked to a specific platform, operating system, or type of software. These files can be read on any computer or device that can open PDFs.

To discourage piracy the file will only be “watermarked” — which is to say the book will be stamped (both visibly and invisibly) with your personal information, thus:

Once you have the PDF file on your own computer you will be able to create, store, and print as many copies as you wish. You can also copy and paste from the text, and search by key word.

You own the e-book, and you may do as you please with it. I simply ask that you not share the file or upload its contents to a public web site.

The Obolus Press operates outside of the literary establishment; it has never applied for, nor received, a government or arts council grant. This artistic endeavour relies entirely on the sale of books, so I thank you for your support.
