The Next Best Seller in Book Sales
Copyright © 2018 All Rights Reserved by ePublish
2
WHAT IT IS
ePublish Corp. is about to join an elite group of the world's largest companies in book sales with a major
advantage: a better model for publishers and their readers.
3
THE PROBLEM
The business of selling and distributing books is run by a handful of the world’s largest companies,
none of which call books, or even publishing, their primary business. The reason is that publishers are willing to
give away their highest-demographic customer, the book buyer, and for the favor, get clubbed with a massive sales
commission.
THE SOLUTION
4
FlexpubION
ePublish's Flexpub Technology provides publishers with a better option,
one where they control distribution and sales, highlight their content and brand,
and keep both a significantly higher percentage of the proceeds and the book-buying customer.
5
THE PRODUCT
Flexpub makes it easy for publishers to sell and deliver print and
digital content direct-to-reader at significantly higher margins, including a previously
unavailable option: online subscriptions that add a recurring revenue stream and
monetize their content in exciting new ways.
Initial clients include The University of North Carolina Press
6
FROM OUR CLIENTS
Dino Battista
Assistant Director, The University of North Carolina Press
"Flexpub is a great tool we use to market our books. The ease of use
(for both us and for customers) is a real benefit, and working with the
ePublish team has been a pleasure."
"Within days, we sold 5,000 books through a promotion with
Final Draft software. We highly recommend ePublish for their
commitment and creativity!"
Ken Lee
Vice President, Michael Wiese Productions
"We can now share our books far more widely, and internationally, than we had
ever managed before. The system lets us connect with readers, and is
extremely easy to use."
Karen Christensen
CEO and Founder, Berkshire Publishing Group
"ePublish delivers on its promises"
Barry Chodak
CEO, Genealogical Publishing Company
"My Flexpub bookstore looks great, and they
treat my customers like family."
New York Times Best Selling Author
CJ Lyons

HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1: STEP 2: STEP 3:
ePublish loads publisher
book content onto our
Flexpub software.
Publishers brand and
customize marketing
and sales options.
Readers browse, buy
and read books on
any device.
GOAL: Publisher Content
Reaches 100,000 Books from a
wide variety of trade,
academic, educational, and
other leading publishers.
GOAL: Flexpub launches a larger-
scale, pooled content marketplace
for digital, print, and subscription
sales with a user base of proven
book buyers.
GOAL: Total User Base Reaches
500,000, with captured data
regarding purchase history and
other key data for remarketing
purposes.
8
ePublish expects to have 100,000 books loaded from leading publishers within our system
during year 2, and will leverage this to launch a competitive bookstore with an unmatched product mix,
including digital, print, and a variety of subscription options unavailable anywhere else.

This presentation is not an offer to sell securities or a solicitation of offers to buy any such securities or interests. Securities of ePublish Corp, are offered to selected investors only.
Any projections, forecasts and estimates contained in this document are necessarily speculative in nature and are based upon certain assumptions. In addition, matters they describe are subject to known (and
unknown) risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond ePublish's control. No representations or warranties are made as to the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It can
be expected that some or all of such forward-looking assumptions will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, any projections are only estimates and actual results will differ and may
vary substantially from the projections or estimates shown.
FINANCIAL PROJECTION ASSUMPTIONS

The following projections (the "Projections") were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles and have not been compiled, reviewed or examined by the Company's independent certified public accountants. The Projections represent management's estimate from Year 1 through Year 3 following this
round of funding. The Company believes that there is a reasonable basis for making the Projections.

The Projections are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity and considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The Projections are also based upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are
subject to change. The degree of uncertainty inherent in the Projections increases significantly with each year in the future. Accordingly, the Projections are only an estimate; actual results will vary from the Projections
and these variations may be material. Consequently, the Projections should not be regarded as a representation by the Company, by the Company's advisors or by any other person that the projected results will be
achieved. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place reliance on the Projections.

The Projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies beyond the Company's control, and no assurances can be given that the strategies implicit in them will be effective in the future or that anticipated benefits
will be realized in the periods for which the Projections have been prepared. The assumptions described herein are those that the Company believes are significant to the Projections. However, not all assumptions
used in the preparation of the Projections have been set forth herein.

ePublish Corp.

  • 1. The Next Best Seller in Book Sales Copyright © 2018 All Rights Reserved by ePublish
  • 2. 2 WHAT IT IS ePublish Corp. is about to join an elite group of the world's largest companies in book sales with a major advantage: a better model for publishers and their readers.
  • 3. 3 THE PROBLEM The business of selling and distributing books is run by a handful of the world’s largest companies, none of which call books, or even publishing, their primary business. The reason is that publishers are willing to give away their highest-demographic customer, the book buyer, and for the favor, get clubbed with a massive sales commission.
  • 4. THE SOLUTION 4 FlexpubION ePublish's Flexpub Technology provides publishers with a better option, one where they control distribution and sales, highlight their content and brand, and keep both a significantly higher percentage of the proceeds and the book-buying customer.
  • 5. 5 THE PRODUCT Flexpub makes it easy for publishers to sell and deliver print and digital content direct-to-reader at significantly higher margins, including a previously unavailable option: online subscriptions that add a recurring revenue stream and monetize their content in exciting new ways. Initial clients include The University of North Carolina Press
  • 6. 6 FROM OUR CLIENTS Dino Battista Assistant Director, The University of North Carolina Press "Flexpub is a great tool we use to market our books. The ease of use (for both us and for customers) is a real benefit, and working with the ePublish team has been a pleasure." "Within days, we sold 5,000 books through a promotion with Final Draft software. We highly recommend ePublish for their commitment and creativity!" Ken Lee Vice President, Michael Wiese Productions "We can now share our books far more widely, and internationally, than we had ever managed before. The system lets us connect with readers, and is extremely easy to use." Karen Christensen CEO and Founder, Berkshire Publishing Group "ePublish delivers on its promises" Barry Chodak CEO, Genealogical Publishing Company "My Flexpub bookstore looks great, and they treat my customers like family." New York Times Best Selling Author CJ Lyons
  • 7. 7 HOW IT WORKS STEP 1: STEP 2: STEP 3: ePublish loads publisher book content onto our Flexpub software. Publishers brand and customize marketing and sales options. Readers browse, buy and read books on any device.
  • 8. GOAL: Publisher Content Reaches 100,000 Books from a wide variety of trade, academic, educational, and other leading publishers. GOAL: Flexpub launches a larger- scale, pooled content marketplace for digital, print, and subscription sales with a user base of proven book buyers. GOAL: Total User Base Reaches 500,000, with captured data regarding purchase history and other key data for remarketing purposes. 8 ePublish expects to have 100,000 books loaded from leading publishers within our system during year 2, and will leverage this to launch a competitive bookstore with an unmatched product mix, including digital, print, and a variety of subscription options unavailable anywhere else.

Securities of ePublish Corp, are offered to selected investors only. Any projections, forecasts and estimates contained in this document are necessarily speculative in nature and are based upon certain assumptions. In addition, matters they describe are subject to known (and unknown) risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond ePublish's control. No representations or warranties are made as to the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It can be expected that some or all of such forward-looking assumptions will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, any projections are only estimates and actual results will differ and may vary substantially from the projections or estimates shown. FINANCIAL PROJECTION ASSUMPTIONS
 The following projections (the "Projections") were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and have not been compiled, reviewed or examined by the Company's independent certified public accountants. The Projections represent management's estimate from Year 1 through Year 3 following this round of funding. The Company believes that there is a reasonable basis for making the Projections.
 The Projections are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity and considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The Projections are also based upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are subject to change. The degree of uncertainty inherent in the Projections increases significantly with each year in the future. Accordingly, the Projections are only an estimate; actual results will vary from the Projections and these variations may be material. Consequently, the Projections should not be regarded as a representation by the Company, by the Company's advisors or by any other person that the projected results will be achieved. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place reliance on the Projections.
 The Projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies beyond the Company's control, and no assurances can be given that the strategies implicit in them will be effective in the future or that anticipated benefits will be realized in the periods for which the Projections have been prepared. The assumptions described herein are those that the Company believes are significant to the Projections. However, not all assumptions used in the preparation of the Projections have been set forth herein.
