No. Only eBooks and audiobooks hosted on BooksOnline and sold directly by BooksOnline are included in the Affiliate Program. Links to Amazon for any books will take you outside our Affiliate Program. This means if someone follows a link for a paperback to Amazon from the Detail Listing Page of an eBook or audiobook on BooksOnline, and they purchase that book directly from Amazon, no affiliate fee will be paid. Amazon has it’s own affiliate program, which it calls the Associates Program.
BooksOnline does have a number of great advantages for readers as customers. Here’s a short list of advantages or benefits readers love:
- BooksOnline is a book site only, and this focus helps to make the online experience much simpler and more intuitive to navigate. We sell two types of products only: digital eBooks and audiobooks. We do include links for paperbacks and hardcovers to Amazon for consumers’ convenience.
- BooksOnline has a very clean menu with clean submenus, and we give you the option to browse books by categories, search by subject or title or author.
- BooksOnline has the clearest instructions on everything about using the site, downloading books, and reading or listening to audiobooks. Our tools and apps are quite easy to use.
- BooksOnline has a blog with relevant articles answering questions consumers have about all things related to books.
- BooksOnline has the best “Book Detail Page” of any online retailer, because our book descriptions are wonderfully written by professionals and unlike Amazon, BooksOnline includes images, illustrations, and embedded videos that promote our books.
- BooksOnline Book Detail Pages also include a book preview, links to other versions of the book, detailed descriptions, and shows the date each book was last updated so you can know whether you should download the latest update.
- BooksOnline offers authors the ability to package books for consumers in bundles and to price those bundles any way they want.
- BooksOnline includes a Gift Card option for readers who want to make a gift of a book to someone, and the gift card offers options for the amount of the gift for any book or book package or book series.
- BooksOnline also makes the 30% affiliate program available to consumers.
- Since readers prefer to own their books and not just have access to them on proprietary devices, BooksOnline sells the book to purchase so they own it subject to copyright laws.
- All the eBooks at BooksOnline are DRM-free, giving readers the freedom to read their books on the most devices and apps, to be able to easily transfer to their other devices, and to keep their own backups if they choose.
- BooksOnline gives audiobook listeners a free audiobook app, which is beautiful and easy to use with all the features needed.
You’ll find the process of adding a book to your cart a familiar process you’ve seen on most book sites today. From the Books Detail Page, just add the book to your cart. Make sure you are adding the version you want. In other words, do you want the eBook, the audiobook, or are you going to hit the link to the paperback version which will take you to Amazon? Once you’ve added the book to your cart, just check out.
You’ll find lots of detailed instructions on how to download an eBook, how to download an audiobook, and how to use our free audiobook app at:

What makes BooksOnline.Club unique as a book distributor? Why would authors and readers be attracted to BooksOnline? The full answer would probably be a two-hour conversation and a lengthy article. But in an effort to get to the point quickly and concisely, I’ll offer this short summary.
BooksOnline.Club attracts readers, authors, and affiliates amid a toxic book industry and a transformative period in American history. Traditional publishing is declining, and while self-publishing and digital books offer benefits, corporate greed, and power struggles often overshadow the interests of authors and consumers. America is undergoing its most significant transition, surpassing the Civil War, Great Depression, Civil Rights Era, and post-9/11 shifts, with widespread changes across political, social, and technological spheres. This “perfect storm” has sparked a mass awakening, with people rejecting lies and seeking truth. BooksOnline.Club serves as a haven, appealing to a majority who value conservatism, truth, and discernment in nonfiction, especially as trust in government and corporations like Amazon—seen as prioritizing profit over consumer interests—erodes. This shift reflects a broader societal push against manipulative business models and a demand for authenticity.
The entire business model of BooksOnline was designed to prioritize the interests of authors and readers. That alone is a long story of years of planning, modeling, and experimenting until, at long last BooksOnline.Club in its current rendition, was born. It is unlikely that you, whether you’re an author or a passionate book reader, will comprehend how much this business model and our site and services truly favor you and work to help you achieve your goals like no other book distributor out there. Perhaps the best way for you to discover all the ways is simply to start using BooksOnline and let it grow on you. You might be surprised.
