Our features are designed with your needs in mind. From simple download pages that look fantastic to automated digital fulfillment-- we've got the tools you need to run your author business.
Simple, Custom Landing Pages
We make it easy for you-- and your book-- to look great.
Whether you are delivering your reader magnet, review copies via Certified Mail, or selling your book in your online store and using BookFunnel for digital fulfillment, you can create a simple, beautiful landing page in seconds.
Wow your readers with your book cover, tagline, and book description— we’ll make sure it looks amazing on every reader’s device, no matter how small! We even adjust the layout on the fly so that your catchy call-to-action is always “above the fold”— readers can wander off if they don’t see that button immediately!
No complex editor or steep learning curve here. Leave our selected defaults in place if you’re in a hurry, or play with our color and text options until your page looks perfect.
You're In Control
Settings that make it easy for you to share your book with your readers and not the rest of the world.
Download Limits
Set a limit and we’ll shut off your downloads automatically.
Real-Time Stats
Keep an eye on how many people are downloading your book.
Automatic Expiration

Replace Rogue Links
Sometimes a link gets shared online. If it happens, replace it easily.
Collect Emails and Keep Track
Sign up for any Mid-List plan (or higher) and you can require readers to provide their email address before they download your book. We’ll use it to watermark the ebook files and will also store their data safely for your records.

Direct Integration
We'll deliver your books no matter which mailing list service you use. But... integrating your account can save you time and your readers extra clicks.
With direct integration, readers can subscribe to your mailing list and download your ebook all in one, convenient place. And because BookFunnel adds them to your list instantly, they'll receive your automatic welcome email without delay or the CSV export/import dance.
Restrict Downloads to Subscribers (Only)
Direct integration also allows you to create restricted pages. We'll check that a reader is actively subscribed to your list before allowing them to download the book. If their email isn’t subscribed, they can’t get the book!
