You can use Pressbooks for free on private books, but if you do you’ll have a big Pressbooks ad in your ebook, and in PDF you’ll have an ad, as well as “Produced with Pressbooks.com” watermarks[1] throughout your book.
Upgrading in Pressbooks will do a few things for you:
- Upgrading to either plan will give you the option to make your webbook public.
- Upgrading to EBOOK Pro will remove Pressbooks ads and watermarks from your ebook files and ebook covers made with our cover generator.
- Upgrading to PDF+EBOOK Pro will remove Pressbooks ads and watermarks from your ebook and print-on-demand files and ebook and print covers made with our cover generator.
- It will increase storage space, important if you are making a book with more than a few photos.
Pricing is:
- $19.99 to remove ads/watermarks in EPUB + option to make webbook public + 25MB of storage
- $99 to remove ads/watermarks in PDF + option to make webbook public + 250MB of storage
