Our Pricing Options:

We offer our services on a fee-based approach with a couple of options:

1. ePublications or eBooks: Your books and PDFs can be published to the iTunes stores to be read on a computer, an iPhone and an iPad. 

  • These eBooks offer content and pictures.

  • We offer our services on a fee-based plus a split revenue approach.

  • Pricing starts at $1,000 and is based upon the number of pages and the formatting required to make your eBook or PDF publication ready.​


2. Multi-Touch digital books made with iBooks Author, to be published exclusively through the iTunes stores:

  • ​These "multi-touch" or "enhanced" digital books are built in Apple's "iBooks Author" by using "Interactive Widgets".  A Widget refers to audio clips, video clips, high quality photography, multiple pictures (in a picture gallery), pop-ups, Google maps, Keynote presentations, charts and graphs, etc.  This can include 3D imagery, when provided by the client.

  • We offer our services on a fee-based plus split revenue approach.

  • Pricing starts at $3,000 and is based upon the number of pages and the interactivity created to transform an ordinary book into a fabulous interactive multi-touch book.

Additional Payment Notes for all pricing packages:

  • Apple provides the opportunity for making your digital books available for free.  This means that both Option 1 & 2 can be modified to have your eBook or Multi-Touch book be available for free on the iTunes store, therefore pricing will be fee-based only, and adjusted accordingly.
  • Please note that all dollars are Canadian, with the appropriate taxes where applicable.
  • We gladly accept cheques, Interact banking with Canadian banks, wire funds transfers and PayPal.
  • A 50% deposit is required within one week of the project agreement, with the remaining 50% due within one week of project completion.
  • Revenues earned from the iTunes stores are forwarded to the client once received by Black Sand Digital from iTunes, after meeting Apple's sales requirements.
  • Multi-Touch digital books can be made available through one country or multiple countries (wherever Apple has created an iTunes store "Books" section with "Books designed by iBooks Author" or "Made for the iPad").
