At Rana Books, along with our parent companies—Rana Books India, Rana Books UK, Inkwell Press, and Sparkwrite Press—we are committed to ensuring the best possible publishing and distribution experience for our authors and readers worldwide.
As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize operations and focus on sustainable growth, we have made the strategic decision to discontinue support for two distribution platforms: E-Sentral and iReader.
Why This Change?
After a thorough internal evaluation alongside our partners at PublishDrive, we found that E-Sentral and iReader have consistently underperformed in terms of revenue and reader engagement. Maintaining these platforms has become increasingly cost-inefficient, and continuing to support them is no longer sustainable for our business model.
What Does This Mean for Our Authors?
-
All content currently distributed to E-Sentral and iReader will be removed within the next 7 days.
-
No action is required from authors—titles will be automatically taken down.
-
This change does not impact your books in any of our other active distribution channels.
We understand that any shift in distribution may raise questions, and we want to assure you that this decision was made with your long-term success in mind. By reallocating our resources, we can better support high-performing platforms and provide stronger, more reliable distribution for your work.
Moving Forward
Rana Books and our affiliated imprints remain focused on offering authors access to the most impactful and profitable publishing avenues. We’re constantly working with our partners, including PublishDrive, to ensure that your books reach the widest possible audience—through the channels that matter most.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, our support team is always here to help.
Thank you for being an essential part of the Rana Books community.
Happy Publishing!
– The Rana Books Team
