What's the opposite of a free book ?

29 replies
I want to have different sections on my site for free books
and non-free books. I've tended to call the latter 'paid'
books but I wonder if there is a better or more familiar
term ?

        $0books
        $$books

        books - free
        books - sold

        free books
        priced books


        I was going to suggest
        free books
        better books

        ...but in your case it is the other way around!

          I am honoured by your compliment Martin.

          Hold on - you might be inferring that my paid/priced/premium/non-free books are useless ?

          Where's that infraction button ?

          ---------------------------------


          So far I like
          - premium
          - priced

          Keep those ideas coming

          Thanks

        Thanks for your suggestions

        I have now decided on 2 variations for two sites


        1) Section headings

        Free SuperTips Books
        Premium SuperTips Books


        2) In a menu

        Books (free)
        Books (priced)

          Definitely like Premium for the section headings.

          What about (paid) or (for sale) in the menu?

            Here are two possibilities:

            1)Free information
            Books

            2)Free downloads
            Books

            If you are planning on giving away information for free and charging for some books, do not use the word "book" with the free information. It will cheapen the books you are charging for and make people less likely to buy them.

    If you have free books and than what about calling the paid ones inexpensive books?

    Harvey,

    You were my first Free Ebook I ever downloaded... and I remember at the time, I was saying, "I get ALL of this for Free".

    Love the SuperTips series

    I vote premium as well.

    Maybe also, Segal Selected

      It's all in the positioning. For example, your free books could be called "partner" section, while your paid section is for strategic partners. This is the section for those serious about learning your subject, etc. It creates an exclusive club type envirnoment by using the the terms partners and strategic partners. Of course, strategic partners expected to pay in return for more service, support, etc.

    premium !

    Does not add too much hype as in "killer" and it feels upscale.. like getting only the best content.
