      Hi All,
      I created an ePub. I want to host it somewhere online and allow our customers to buy them.

      To show the Proof of concept, I need to make a demonstration. Is there any free website where we can host the epub files?

      How to make the customer download from the website? I miss the link from 1) Uploading the epub to the cloud 2) What tool the customer should have in his mobile / Kindle Fire to download and read the book?

      Hi Radhakrishnan, you are not alone! it’s not as easy as we’d all hope but I do have some suggestions.

      Your EPUB can be freely presented on a website using Readium CloudReader
      https://github.com/readium/readium-js-viewer/releases

      My company’s tool MasterPlan LIVE simplifies this process and adds extra features such as offering free samples, allowing search and access control.
      e.g. https://www.galdosgift.com/book-sample?mp=Client3333/Job9781999857608/002

      To view an ebook on a Kindle Fire you will need to convert the EPUB to a MOBI / KF8 file.
      My company’s tool CircularFLO simplifies this process for fixed layout https://www.circularflo.com or for reflowable you could try https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2169023

      You can offer a direct download link to the EPUB and MOBi file from your site so customers can then open in iBooks, Google Play or maybe Adobe Digital Editions. However if you want to restrict your customer from sharing the file you will currently need to consider going through a retailer.
      e.g. Kindle Direct Publishing https://kdp.amazon.com

      Good luck!
