MyBookTable Bookstore by Stormhill Media vs Books Gallery – Book Showcase, Library & Affiliate Plugin

Forget everything you think you know about selling your book online. We’re changing it. You won’t need SSL certificates, shopping carts, or piles of books in your basement. All you’ll need is a WordPress website. Oh, and a book. MyBookTable allows you to have your own bookstore that links to online bookstores where visitors can buy the book. You can find a live demo of MyBookTable in action here. FEATURES Easy to Use With a simple interface, help text and tutorial videos, MyBookTable is designed with the novice user in mind. In version 2.0 we made MyBookTable even easier to use with usability improvements throughout the plugin. Drag and Drop Control Easily control which books appear at the top of your book table page with a simple drag-and-drop interface. Make Your Individual Book Pages Look Amazing MyBookTable allows you to easily make great-looking book pages. Whether you want a list of books or a individual book page, MyBookTable gives you maximum control with minimum hassle. Kindle Instant Preview (New in 3.0) MyBookTable 3 will now officially come with Kindle Instant Preview. Readers can read the first few pages of your Kindle book without ever having to leave your book page or download a PDF. Social Media Integration MyBookTable makes it easy for visitors to like and share your books on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google+. It also works with plugins like ShareThis. Beautiful Buy Buttons MyBookTable comes with Buy Buttons for the following stores: Alibris Amazon Amazon Kindle Apple iBooks Button Audible Barnes & Noble Barnes & Noble Nook Book Depository Button BookBaby Books-A-Million Christian Book Distributor (CBD) CreateSpace GoodReads Gumroad Indiebound Kobo Lifeway Mardel Powell’s Scribd Smashwords Sony Reader Universal Buy Button Create a button that points to any site on the web. You have full control over both the text and the link. International Mode (New in 3.0) MyBookTable is partnering with Geniuslink to add link localization to MyBookTable. This means readers in England will automatically be sent to Amazon.co.uk and Canadian readers can click the same button to go to Amazon.ca. Audiobook Mode (New in 3.0) MyBookTable will come with an audio player so readers can sample your audiobook right on the book page. We are also adding fields for Narrator and Audiobook Price. Book Import/Export (New in 3.0) This user-requested feature will be a huge time saver for authors with multiple websites. With MyBookTable 2.0 you can export your books from one website and import them into another. Enhanced Children’s Book Support (New in 3.0) Not every author writes children’s books. But those that do want an Illustrator Field so they can give credit to the illustrator of their books. Users will be able to click on an illustrator’s name to see all the books by that illustrator. Star Rating Support (New in 3.0) It turns out that not everyone who uses MyBookTable is an author. Readers use MyBookTable to post reviews of books they’ve read. Now MyBookTable has a Star Rating feature so that those book reviewers can rate the books they are reviewing. Endorsements Section (New in 3.0) MyBookTable 3 has a special section for you to show off endorsements, blurbs, and accolades. Book blurbs can now look better than ever before. Buy Button Style Packs Customize your store by showing some of the buy buttons as a bulleted list. Also, choose from multiple buy button color schemes. Buy Button Shadow Box Have a a lot of buy buttons cluttering up your book pages? No worries. MyBookTable 2.0 allows you to show a single “buy now” button that opens a shadow box with all your buy buttons. Featured Book Widget Feature a book on your sidebar with just a few clicks. You can even add multiple books by adding multiple widgets. Mobile Responsive If your WordPress theme is mobile responsive, MyBookTable will react similarly, delivering maximum compatibility for visitors on phones and tablets. Recommend Books Do you want to sell books by other authors? MyBookTable now has a “Recommended Books” tag out of the box so you can sell not only your books but other authors’ books as well. Advanced Search Engine Optimization A Search-Optimized Page for Each Book Having a search-optimized book page may seem small, but this option makes a huge difference in how many people find your book. Most authors cram all their books onto one page. With so many titles per page, no one book can rank or get coveted Google juice. MyBookTable allows you to create a page for each book, as well as a page with all books listed, so you get the best of both worlds. Edit one and it updates the other. This gives you a much better chance of ranking higher when someone searches for one of your titles. Native SEO Controls If you don’t currently use an SEO plugin, MyBookTable provides meta titles and descriptions as if you did, complete with optimized defaults in case you don’t want to bother optimizing it yourself. Advanced SEO Integration MyBookTable integrates with popular SEO plugins like WordPress SEO by Yoast and Scribe SEO. If you use one of these plugins, you get full access to their power. Semantic Markup and OpenGraph MyBookTable has built-in semantic markup, giving you the edge on search engines like Google and social networks like Facebook. We do all the heavy lifting for you, so your pages are naturally searchable. This should improve Search Engine Optimization and social optimization. Built-In Tutorial Videos MyBookTable has built-in tutorial videos showing you how to use the plugin for maximum effect. Compatibility Mode With thousands of WordPress themes in existence, we can’t guarantee that MBT will work with every theme. So we have created a compatibility mode that allows for maximum compatibility with your theme. MyBookTable integrates with all the major theme frameworks, including Genesis, Woo Canvas, most Elegant Themes, and many Theme Forest Themes. Thesis is the only framework known not to work. Easy Shortcode Interface MBT adds an icon to the WordPress WYSIWYG Editor that allows you to add MyBookTable shortcodes to your site with just a couple of clicks. Built-in Breadcrumbs We have added breadcrumbs, which will not only make your book pages easier to use for your visitors, but will also improve search engine optimization. These breadcrumbs are fully compatible with the Genesis or Woo Canvas breadcrumb systems. GetNoticed! Theme Integration MyBookTable can import books from Michael Hyatt’s GetNoticed! theme. MyBookTable and GetNoticed! now work together seamlessly. Book Widgets MyBookTable gives you several cool book widgets. Including a featured book widget, genre widget, series widget, and more! Premium Features (Available with Paid Upgrade) Affiliate Integration (Professional Upgrade Required) Amazon, BN.com, and CBD.com all offer affiliate programs that help you supplement your income as an author.
