What is Newbooks.biz?

Newbooks.biz is an eProcurement solution for booksellers who want to professionally support corporate customers with media procurement.

Through the platform, corporate customers can order physical titles and e-books. The solution is especially suitable for structured B2B procurement processes. 

When is Newbooks.biz the right solution – and when is it not?

Newbooks.biz is particularly interesting for booksellers with corporate clients, public authorities, law firms, educational institutions, or larger organizations to whom they want to offer physical books and e-books.

If, on the other hand, you need a classic B2C shop, a white-label shop, or your own eCommerce system with Libri.Digital integration, other Libri.Digital solutions are usually more suitable. 

Can I also offer e-books via Newbooks.biz?

Yes, your corporate customers can also order e-books via Newbooks.biz.

Libri provides the Libri.Digital e-book catalog in the wholesale version for this purpose. Ordering takes place via the Newbooks platform, while delivery of the e-book is handled in cooperation with Libri. 

Can audiobooks also be ordered via Newbooks.biz?

Digital titles such as audiobooks can generally be displayed on the platform, but they are not sourced through Libri.

How does an e-book order via Newbooks.biz work?

The process is simple for both you and your corporate customers:

The end customer searches for and orders the e-book via the Newbooks platform. Newbooks transmits the transaction request to Libri, Libri provides the download link, and the end customer receives the link by email and through the platform.

Who receives the download link for the e-book?

The download link is sent to the end customer.

In addition, the end customer can also download the e-book directly via the Newbooks platform. 

Am I, as a bookseller, informed about the e-book transaction?

Yes, you are informed about the transaction by email.

This ensures that you remain informed about digital orders as well and can actively support your corporate customer relationships. 

Who bills the e-book transactions?

Libri bills the e-book transactions directly to you as the bookseller. 

Can a corporate customer purchase multiple e-book copies in one order?

Currently, this is only possible to a limited extent.

The current process is designed for single transactions: each purchase generates one download link for one e-book. This means that end customers must place a new order for each e-book they need. A more convenient multi-order function for recipients is being discussed as possible future enhancement. 

What contracts do I need to offer e-books via Newbooks.biz?

You need two contractual components:

• an agreement with Newbooks for the use of their ordering platform
• an agreement with Libri for the distribution of e-books and other digital products via Newbooks.biz

This ensures that both platform use and digital supply are properly regulated. 

What role does Libri play in Newbooks.biz?

For e-books, Libri is primarily responsible for catalog provision, digital transaction processing, fulfillment, and billing.

Newbooks provides the platform through which your corporate customers search and order. Libri supplies the underlying e-book data and handles the digital delivery process in the background. 

What should be considered regarding technical integration, and who helps in case of issues?

The technical platform is provided by Newbooks. For activation and use, the necessary bookseller data and access credentials must be correctly set up and transmitted to Newbooks — Libri handles this as soon as the necessary contracts and organizational entries on the Libri side are in place.

Ongoing technical support and customer service are provided by Newbooks.

Is there a fee per e-book transaction?

Yes, Libri charges a service fee per e-book transaction via Newbooks.biz in accordance with the current Libri.Digital price list. Independently of this, Newbooks charges its own fees for use of the platform, which must be requested separately.
