FAQ

Last Updated: Jul 13, 2023

Q: I've found a book I like, but why can't I pay for it now?

A: As you may already know, our book prices start from USD 0.01, which is an enticing price that many people would be interested in. Therefore, we still want to provide a unique reading experience for readers. Once a book is available, we offer a 48-hour preview period. During these two days, you can read the free chapters and decide whether to make a purchase. After 48 hours, you can go ahead and grab the great deal.

 

Q: I saw that subscribing once grants me a share in future IP development rights. Can I purchase multiple subscriptions?

A: While we appreciate the enthusiasm, it is important to clarify that subscribing multiple times to the same book does not directly result in receiving a larger revenue share. Our revenue-sharing model is based on the overall performance of the book and the number of subscribers it attracts collectively. However, your support through multiple subscriptions does contribute to increasing the book's visibility and market value, which can potentially lead to higher earnings in the long run. We encourage readers to engage with our content and support the authors by spreading the word about their favorite books.

 

Q: Why can't I subscribe to the same book multiple times at once?

A: We aim to offer fair purchasing opportunities to all users. Buying a large quantity at once can lead to price fluctuations and affect other users' purchases. Therefore, while we allow multiple subscriptions to the same book, they can not be purchased simultaneously.

 

Q: What is the difference between Point and Coin?

A: Both Points and Coins can be used to purchase products or services on SciFidea. Points are awarded to users through official activities, while Coins can be directly purchased with cash. When the use of Points is restricted, Coins are always the more convenient choice.

 

Q: What does "read the book up to 50% free" mean exactly?

A: For every book available on SciFidea, we provide approximately 50% of the content for free to be previewed. When reading up to the middle part, our editors select suitable breakpoints based on chapters or word count to distinguish between free and paid sections. We hope it will allow readers to explore and enjoy a significant portion of the story before deciding to subscribe.

 

Q: As a reading website, there are too few books. When will more new books be available?

A: Indeed, SciFidea stands out as a premium science fiction website due to its unique approach. Rather than having a massive collection, we prioritize quality over quantity by carefully selecting each work and delivering only the most thrilling content to our readers. After the initial release of four books, we will continue to provide new content at a rate of two books every two weeks. Our commitment is to treat each work with utmost seriousness and dedication, aiming to cultivate them into valuable and influential intellectual property (IP).

 

Q: How can I apply to be an author on SciFidea?

A: We will soon be open to non-contest entries. To ensure that you can receive the submission call once it is ready, please make sure that you have enabled notifications on SciFidea.

 

Q: Where is the AI feature mentioned in the advertisements?

A: This is an exciting feature that we are proud to introduce. Once it is ready, SciFidea will definitely notify everyone. Please stay tuned and look forward to it.
